  • Professional identity formation (PIF) in general practitioners (GPs) is vital for job satisfaction, reduced burnout, and patient-centered care.
  • GP residency programs often neglect PIF, treating it as a hidden curriculum.
  • Limited exposure to general practice communities of practice hinders GP trainees' PIF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss effective strategies for fostering PIF in family medicine residency programs.
  • To address the lack of empirical evidence on GP PIF and its development.
  • To highlight the importance of PIF for the future of family medicine.

Main Methods:

  • This paper is a discussion and strategy paper.
  • It synthesizes existing knowledge and proposes actionable recommendations.
  • No primary empirical data collection was performed.

Main Results:

  • Explicit attention to PIF is recommended in curriculum design, teaching and learning methods, and faculty development.
  • The importance of a supportive community for GP residents' PIF journey is emphasized.

Conclusions:

  • Family medicine residency programs must intentionally integrate PIF strategies.
  • Faculty development is essential to support PIF.
  • A unified GP community can provide ongoing support for residents' PIF.
