The intersectionality of professional and personal identity formation in a virtual pre-health pathway program.

Background And Purpose: To describe the development and implementation of professional and personal identity formation content in a virtual pre-health pathway program.

Educational Activity And Setting: Content within a six-week pre-health program for underrepresented and/or disadvantaged college students was redesigned to a virtual format with enhanced focus on professional and personal identity formation. Sessions on personal identity formation were also enhanced through a partnership with local mental health clinicians specializing in trauma-informed care and culturally relevant practices and strategies.
