MF 1 Reflection
Assessment
PC Reflective Physician Portfolio
For your MF 1 RPP entry, we would like you to choose from one of the following prompts: 1. Professional Identity: Consider the following: Part of the journey of becoming a physician is a gradual transformation in your identity. When you enter medical school, you develop a new identity as a medical student. As the months pass, you gradually begin to develop a professional identity as a physician. Write a reflective entry in response to these questions: What factors have shaped your identity prior to entering med school? How have people around you changed the ways in which they interact with you since becoming a med student? How is your own sense of identity changing? 2. Yourself as a student: Students entering medical school at McMaster must adjust their learning style. They must also adjust to a different way of judging success in their learning. Write a reflective entry in response to these questions: What have you learned about yourself as you have adjusted to problem-based learning? What has it been like being uncertain about whether or not you have learned enough about a subject?
