What is Professional Identity Formation?

Professional identity formation (PIF) is a complex and transformational process of internalizing a profession’s core knowledge, skills, values and beliefs, resulting in an individual “thinking, acting and feeling” like a member of that professional community. The process of forming a professional identity begins even before the first day of professional school and continues throughout an individual's career.
