Objective:
The objective of this review was to summarize evidence relating to the impact of experiential education on the development of professional identity formation (PIF) and determine areas for future research and development to improve the integration of a professional identity within the student's unique personal identity within experiential education programs.
Methods:
A systematic scoping review was conducted using the systematic evidence-based approach following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Articles published between 2012 and 2022 related to the development of PIF in relation to the experiential experience were researched using PubMed, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Eric, and JSTOR (search engines) to find relevant articles.
Results:
A total of 986 articles were identified from the literature search. After undergoing an exclusion criterion, the total number of articles was reduced to 23 to be included in this review. Following the full-text review of the 23 articles, the authors identified common themes or domains and key findings relating to PIF and pharmacy experiential education. Articles were then assigned to 1 or more of the following domains: Experiential Education and PIF, Experiential Education and Professional Socialization, and Factors that influence PIF.
Conclusion:
This review found that professional identity is highly impacted by experiential education and that pharmacy students cannot rely on didactic teaching alone but need to be exposed to authentic practice settings early within their curriculum by means of experiential education.
