Image description: Background is in black and white and is a paper cut out of family and stethoscope. Top header in light green. Text in dark green.
Text: “Specialty Disrespect” in bold at the top. Underneath this title reads “One element of the hidden curriculum, encompassing unwarranted, negative, and denigrating comments made by trainees and physicians about different specialties. (Alston, 2019).”
Poster that mimics an iPhone messaging screen with fictional statements as “receiving” grey message bubbles and factual statements as “sent” blue message bubbles. This poster is about family medicine. The fictional side has two bubbles and reads “Only people who fail STEP 1 go into Family Medicine” and “Family physicians are not smart enough to handle complex patients” and the factual response reads “The average matched family medicine Step 1 score is well above passing. We diagnose and treat many illnesses and have the expertise to identify which patients would benefit from specialty care.” The next fictional bubble reads “Family medicine is lame and boring” and the factual bubble reads “Full scope family medicine encompasses care of patients from first to final breath. Some providers perform wellness and acute visits in the morning and then deliver babies or complete office procedures in the afternoon.”
