Abstract
The hidden curriculum profoundly shapes professional identity formation in postgraduate psychiatry training through implicit norms, institutional culture, and role modeling. Beyond formal curricula, it influences ethics, communication, well-being, and professionalism. Recognizing and positively shaping hidden curriculum can enhance trainee development, institutional culture, and humane, patient-centered psychiatric practice.
