Objective: to analyze the process of professional identity construction in undergraduate nursing students during their education.
Method: qualitative research, anchored in the Historical-Cultural framework. Twenty-three undergraduate nursing students took part. Data were collected through individual interviews, with a semi-structured script. Thematic Analysis was used to analyze the data.
Results: the following four themes were obtained, "The subject in movement to become a nurse: from previous experiences to entering the courses"; "The nursing professor in the construction of the undergraduate's professional identity: a two-way mirror"; "Pedagogical relationship: instrument for constructing the student's professional identity" and "Historical-cultural conditions: space for the construction of the student's professional identity".
Conclusion: the construction of the students' professional identity is limited to the material conditions of existence, translating appropriation to the intrapsychic scope of elements that occur, first, in the inter-psychological space of interactions. Nursing professors can become a paradoxical mirror, with one face to be imitated and the other, which materializes meanings of a model not to be followed. This construction is also influenced by the conditions of professional practice and university education.

ProblemLongitudinal patient relationships can positively affect medical students' professional identity formation (PIF), understanding of illness, and socialization within medical practice, but a longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) model is not always feasible. The authors describe the novel Patient Student Partnership (PSP) program, which provides authentic roles for students in mentored longitudinal patient relationships while maintaining a traditional block clerkship model.ApproachThe PSP program at the University of Virginia School of Medicine pairs all matriculating medical students with a patient living with chronic illness to follow across multiple health care settings until graduation.
