Title: Life imitating art: Depictions of the hidden curriculum in medical television programs
Authors: Agatha Stanek, Christopher Clarkin, David Bould, Helen Writer, Ammar Doja
Journal: BMC Medical Education
Year: 2015

Conclusion

Dr. Agatha Stanek The study concludes that medical television programs portray elements of the hidden curriculum that mirror real-world medical education, including hierarchical relationships, professionalism, and ethical dilemmas. These depictions can shape both public perceptions of medicine and learners’ attitudes toward the profession. While dramatized, such portrayals provide opportunities to reflect on implicit cultural and social lessons within medical training. The authors suggest that educators can use these representations as teaching tools to raise awareness of the hidden curriculum, encourage critical thinking, and foster open dialogue among medical students. Ultimately, integrating media depictions into education may help learners recognize and address unspoken values and behaviors encountered in their training, supporting the development of more reflective and socially responsible physicians.

Conclusion

Dr. Weiyu Wang and collaborators makes significant contributions to the modeling, control, and stability enhancement of VSC-MTDC (Voltage Source Converter–based Multi-Terminal DC) systems and hybrid AC/DC power grids. Across high-impact IEEE journals and other reputable outlets, these studies address core challenges such as adaptive droop control, virtual synchronous generator strategies, low-frequency oscillation damping, and distributed cooperative control. More recent works extend into advanced frequency support for low-inertia grids, nonlinear observer-based control, and cyber-physical security in power systems. The research demonstrates both theoretical innovation and practical applicability, influencing modern grid stability and renewable integration. With multiple highly cited papers, this research portfolio plays a pivotal role in advancing power system resilience and flexibility in the era of decarbonization and increasing renewable penetration
