Abstract

Abstract: Objective To understand the development of professional identity research in the context of international medical education. Methods HistCite was used for bibliometrics analysis based on Web of Science core collection database, and Pajek was used for master path analysis of citation time series map. Results The research on professional identity in the field of international medical education was on the rise year by year, and it entered a relatively active period since 2014. In this field, United States was far ahead in the number of papers published while Canadian research had higher academic value. There were some highly influential research institutions such as University of California San Francisco, University of Toronto and McGill University in Canada, as well as a group of famous scholars such as Yvonne Steinert, Richard L Cruess, Sylvia R Cruess from McGill University in Canada. Some source journals had a higher influence on the topic of professional identity in the field of international medical education, such as Academic Medicine in the United States, BMC Medical Education and Medical Education in the United Kingdom. Conclusions The research on professional identity is increasingly active, but the measurement of professional identity in practice still needs to be further explored. There is still a big gap between the research in China and the developed countries in the world. China should carry out more in-depth research on the impact mechanism of professional identity.
