Objective To understand the professional identity of undergraduates majoring in clinical medicine during internship, and to explore the influencing factors of professional identity. Methods A total of 522 clinical medical undergraduates were investigated through questionnaire survey from February to March 2022, and the current situation and influencing factors of medical students' professional identity during internship were analyzed through descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, one-way ANOVA, and t-test analysis. Results The students' professional identity score was (4.10 ± 0.66), and there was a positive correlation between the 8 possible factors and professional identity (P<0.001). Among them, their own clinical abilities (r=0.42), teaching resources (r=0.41) had the higher correlation with professional identity, while the effectiveness of internship (r=0.23) had the lowest correlation with professional identity. An analysis of occupational identity among students with different characteristics showed that male students had higher scores than female students [(4.21 ± 0.71) vs. (4.02 ± 0.61), P=0.002], and medical students from independent medical colleges had higher scores than medical students from comprehensive universities [(4.20 ± 0.64) vs. (4.06 ± 0.66), P=0.029]. The scores of graduate students who pursue graduate school guarantees (4.12 ± 0.66) and those who are preparing to take postgraduate entrance exams (4.17 ± 0.64) are higher than those who graduated from undergraduate studies and participate in clinical work (3.86 ± 0.60) or non-clinical work (3.23 ± 0.59), all P<0.05. Conclusions The effectiveness of internships, clinical abilities, and teaching resources are all correlated with professional identity, with clinical abilities and teaching resources having a higher correlation. Male medical students, students from independently established medical colleges, and those who choose to pursue graduate school guarantees and take postgraduate entrance exams have a higher score of professional identity.
