Listen "Who Am I as a Doctor? Professional Identity Formation with SCOPE #CTC7"
Episode Synopsis
What actually makes you a doctor? Is it the white coat, the stethoscope, or something deeper? In this episode, we sit down with Margreet Smit and Miranda Trippenzee from SCOPE - the UMCG's expertise centre for personal development - to explore professional identity formation in medical education. We dive into the difference between socialization (fitting in) and subjectification (becoming yourself), and why both matter when you're navigating medical school. Along the way, we discuss why medicine feels a bit like dating, why students are people first and how reflection can help you become the kind of doctor you want to be - without burning out in the process. From stress and performance pressure to curious, healthy professionals: this conversation is about making space for who you are while becoming who you're meant to be.
