Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to describe the Professional Identity Formation (PIF) journeys of two Experiential Education (EE) Directors in a reflective narrative. DescriptionUsing the “What? So What? Now What?” model of reflection, this manuscript will describe the experiences of two EE administrators as they reflect upon the various pivotal moments of their career and professional transitions. Analysis/InterpretationAs pharmacy educators seek to be purposeful and intentional about guiding their students' journeys to form their own professional identities, they must first be willing to engage in their own self-reflection to explore their own journeys. Then, pharmacy educators will be better equipped to assist learners as their own professional identity is developed. Conclusions and ImplicationsIn this article, the authors have modeled candid self-reflection and have described their own PIF journeys to serve as a guide for other pharmacy educators seeking to do the same.
