Assessing professional identity formation (PIF) amongst medical students in Oncology and Palliative Medicine postings: a SEBA guided scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Introduction to a multi-professional team who are working and caring for the dying, and facing complex moral and ethical dilemmas during Oncology and Palliative Medicine postings influence a medical student's professional identity formation (PIF). However, limited appreciation of PIF, inadequate assessments and insufficient support jeopardise this opportunity to shape how medical students think, feel and act as future physicians. To address this gap, a systematic scoping review (SSR) of PIF assessment methods is proposed.

Methods

A Systematic Evidence-based Approach (SEBA) guided SSR of assessments of PIF in medical schools published between 1^st January 2000 and 31^st December 2021 in PubMed, Embase, ERIC and Scopus databases was carried out.
