Summary: Competency-based medical education frameworks aim to develop competency in trainees, while professional identity formation focuses on their personal growth. However, integrating knowledge, skills, and abilities into a comprehensive understanding of trainees is challenging. To address this, this paper explores how the theory of threshold concepts can improve our ability to identify and support behaviors and actions that impact trainees' competency and professional identity development at different stages of training.

Summary: Participation in a coaching program challenged the traditional surgical personality and helped surgeons to form a more open and evolving professional identity. Surgeons discussed how participation conflicted with their professional identity, and the safe spaces provided by coaching programs allowed them to practice vulnerability without the pressure of professional norms, ultimately leading to improvements in the culture of surgery.

Summary: This systematic scoping review mapped the current understanding of the 'mentoring umbrella' and its effects on PIF for medical students and physicians in training. The mentoring umbrella was found to shape PIF in three stages, providing a cognitive base of essential knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes which informed thinking, conduct, and opinions in early supervised clinical exposure in Communities of practice (COP). The individualized approach of COPs inculcated desired professional characteristics, goals, values, principles, and beliefs reshaping the individual's identity, while the socialization process ensured their integration into current identities.

Summary: This study found a close association between milestone and entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessment tools and the professional identity of emergency medicine residents. Additionally, professional identity in emergency physicians is influenced by their skills advancement and ability to learn, effectively perform tasks, and make appropriate medical decisions at the system level. The synergistic use of milestone and EPA assessment tools can be useful for supervisors and clinical educators to evaluate clinical performance during residency training.

Summary: Trainee distress and burnout are significant concerns in medical education, and the experience of meaning at work is critical to professional wellbeing. However, the utilization of this experience in educational settings has been neglected. Professional identity formation can help trainees understand the meaningfulness of their work. We propose strategies to optimize the impact of professional identity formation on wellbeing.
