Emotional intelligence and professional identity formation (PIF) intersect at various levels. Professional identity formation requires acute observation of others in the profession and the ability to decipher intentionality in behaviors. The developing pharmacist must make a deliberate effort to emulate positive norms and values that coincide with those associated with the profession while deliberately ignoring those that are incongruent. To learn from others in the profession, social skills are required, so one can ask questions, determine the best course of action, set goals, grow, and maintain relationships, and ask for help. The ability to manage one's emotions regardless of external circumstances can be valuable for any profession. Self-regulation and self-assessment of one's emotions and motivations can be useful for reevaluating our perspectives and priorities as pharmacists. Emotional intelligence is a critical component of building, demonstrating, and improving PIF. This commentary will provide strategies to facilitate and solidify the connection between the two.
