Abstract

To enhance professional identity formation among 98 dental technology freshmen,a seminar course was designed for the 2023 undergraduate cohort at Xiamen Medical College. The results of the questionnaire survey after the end of the course showed that the students' after-class professional understanding score was (3.60±0.86) points, higher than the pre-class (2.47±0.65), and the professional identity (3.47±0.74), which was higher than the pre-class (3.17±0.65) (all P<0.05). The course achieved 77.1% (74/96) satisfaction, while 84.4% (81/96), 81.3%(78/96),97.9%(94/96), and 87.5% (84/96) of students reported improved time management, their self-study ability, communication, and teamwork skills respectively. This seminar effectively promotes professional engagement and transversal competency development.
