Abstract

It is necessary for medical educators to understand how medical students construct their identities after entering medical schools and what the influencing factors are in this process. By using the personality and social structure perspective model, this research did a qualitative analysis of medical students' construction of professional identity based on 92 parallel charts written by graduate students majoring in clinical medicine. This study shows that writing parallel charts has positive effect on medical students' professional identity construction. It also provides some implications on improving medical education by using narrative medicine and parallel charts.
