Implicit learning of the “hidden curriculum” of surgery occurs from medical students’ first exposure to surgery onward. Most medical students begin medical school without prior experience in surgery, meaning their introduction to surgery may not occur until formal clerkship experiences. The objective of this project is to determine the impact of early surgical education on first- and second-year women medical students on knowledge, comfort, and attitudes.
