Modeling in Nursing: A Handbook Template for Professional Identity in Schools of Nursing.

Background: The Professional Identity in Nursing Initiative began in 2018 to explore how concepts and language regarding professional identity formation could positively affect nursing education, practice, and regulation. In 2023, faculty from two nursing schools used the International Society for Professional Identity in Nursing (ISPIN) definitions and domains to incorporate professional identity in nursing language in a template for a nursing student handbook.

Method: Faculty evaluated the professional identity in nursing model and replaced the framework for professionalism in the school of nursing's handbook.

Introduction: Faculty of color in schools of medicine play an essential role in addressing health disparities, increasing diversity in healthcare, and improving health professions education. Yet inadequate progress has been made in increasing the numbers of faculty of color in medical schools. The reasons for this gap, and ways to address it, are poorly understood.
