Workshop on Core Values for First-Year Medical Students: Supporting Professional Identity Formation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

While medical education often emphasizes the acquisition of knowledge and professional behavior, it tends to under-address students' personal development. This dimension-subjectification-is essential in education, alongside qualification and socialization. To address this gap, we developed a core values workshop to guide first-year medical students in identifying and reflecting on personal values.

Methods

We integrated this 2-hour workshop into the professional development curriculum. We guided groups of 8-18 students through three exercises: Values Board discussion, individual reflection, and plenary video analysis. We collected evaluation data through anonymous online surveys, which included 10 quantitative and three open-ended questions.
