Background:
- Professional identity formation (PIF) is critical for healthcare professionals.
- Understanding PIF across different health disciplines is essential for effective training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and compare PIF in medical, dental, nursing, and pharmacy students.
- To analyze the role of interprofessional education (IPE) in PIF for these students.
Main Methods:
- A literature review was conducted by a medical research librarian.
- Papers were selected based on inclusion criteria for PIF and IPE, stratified by health program.
- IPE core competencies were analyzed for their effect on student groups.
Main Results:
