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
