Background: Professional identity formation (PIF) as a general practitioner (GP) enhances the experience of meaning at work, reduces burnout, promotes patient-centred decision making and strengthens advocacy for the unique role of family medicine within the healthcare system. Unfortunately, there is insufficient emphasis on PIF in GP residency programs; it often remains a hidden curriculum. External factors limiting GP trainees' exposure to their own general practice community of practice further impede PIF. Thus, fostering general practice PIF requires deliberate, focused efforts; however, there is little empiric evidence on the GP professional identity or how to foster it.
Objective: The aim of this paper is to discuss strategies for effective GP PIF in family medicine residency.
Discussion: The authors recommend explicit attention to PIF in three key areas: curriculum; teaching and learning; and faculty development. Additionally, the authors encourage GPs to unite as a community to provide continuing and coordinated support for GP residents on their PIF journey.
