Abstract:
Professional identity formation (PIF) throughout the pharmacy curriculum is important for learners to transform from layperson to pharmacist. To be effective, PIF activities need intentional development and support. Professional identity is often seen as the core component of PIF; however, there must be an emphasis on integrating and aligning an individual's personal identity through this process. Moreover, there has been an emphasis on upholding diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism efforts in pharmacy practice and education. There is a need to explore experiences of PIF among diverse populations, including learners underrepresented in pharmacy. This commentary explores the differences in PIF among underrepresented learners in health care disciplines and is a call to action to explore evidence-based interventions that are inclusive and tailored to individual learners. This commentary sets a foundation for additional scholarly work and recommendations regarding PIF among underrepresented learners.
