Abstract

Introduction: The formation of a strong professional identity early in a student's career, can enable the successful transition to the workplace, motivate the beginning practitioner, and assist in establishing confidence in their role. Previous research suggests that the development of professional identity occurs following graduation with genuine work experiences due to a focus on traditional learning experiences during academic education. Empathy strengthens the relationship between patients and health professionals, improving satisfaction for both parties and promoting optimal clinical outcomes.
