abstract = {Introduction: Professional identity formation is the complex and iterative process by which medical students learn to think, act, and feel like physicians.
Methods: Using mask making, we iteratively explored changes in student perceptions of their identity across time during medical school.
Results: Themes of impostorism, uncertainty, and identity progression/integration were identified.
Conclusion: Mask making represents a unique method to examine fundamental themes in identity formation for medical students.},
