背景：医学教育不仅仅是获得适当水平的知识和发展相关技能。实习医学生需要发展一种职业认同--在专业情境中存在和联系的方式。目的：借鉴社会心理学的概念，对医学生职业认同的形成和维持过程进行概念化。提出了认同和认同形成的多维模型，以及认同资本和多重身份的概念。结论：认同的形成主要是社会性的和关系性的。教育工作者和更广泛的医学界需要利用和最大化学生所经历的各种关系环境中存在的机会。从最广泛的意义上讲，教育就是将自我转变为新的思维和联系方式。帮助学生形成并成功地将他们的职业自我融入到他们的多重身份中，是医学教育的基础。
Context: Medical education is about more than acquiring an appropriate level of knowledge and developing relevant skills. To practice medicine students need to develop a professional identity - ways of being and relating in professional contexts.Objectives: This article conceptualises the processes underlying the formation and maintenance of medical students' professional identity drawing on concepts from social psychology.Implications: A multi-dimensional model of identity and identity formation, along with the concepts of identity capital and multiple identities, are presented. The implications for educators are discussed.Conclusions: Identity formation is mainly social and relational in nature. Educators, and the wider medical society, need to utilise and maximise the opportunities that exist in the various relational settings students experience. Education in its broadest sense is about the transformation of the self into new ways of thinking and relating. Helping students form, and successfully integrate their professional selves into their multiple identities, is a fundamental of medical education.
