Clinical Supervision Educational Sessions – Who are you? Personal and Professional Identity and Everything in Between with Visiting Speakers Ian MacFarlane and Krista Redlinger-Grosse, University of Minnesota

This event is co-sponsored by the MSc in Genetic Counselling Program, the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and supported by the Faculty Development Initiative Fund

Acculturation is a mutual process of adaptation that affects social structures, institutions, and cultural norms, as well as individual behaviours. Come to find out how professional acculturation takes place in medical education and early career development.

This talk will use ecological systems and acculturation frameworks to guide reflection on your own career experiences and how these have contributed to your self-concept and identity as a medical professional.

Learning objectives:

• Describe professional identity using ecological systems theory
• Map the integration of personal and professional identity in the context of acculturation
• Identify how your intersectional identities impact your sense of belonging and shapes your professional journey
