専門性から専門職としてのアイデンティティへ：現代医学教育の新たな中核

The classical educational triangle-knowledge, skills, and attitude-has long guided the philosophy of medical education. However, the term attitude inadequately reflects the depth and transformative essence of professionalism. This paper argues that professionalism, rather than being a mere behavioural component, embodies the bridge between knowledge and skills through the internalized concept of professional identity. The development of professional identity represents a vital process in shaping authentic, reflective, and ethically grounded physicians capable of navigating contemporary challenges such as digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI). By embedding professional identity formation as a core educational goal, medical institutions can cultivate resilient, empathetic, and leadership-oriented professionals ready for the future of healthcare.
