Developing personal professionalism and career awareness early in the medical curriculum through Enquiry-Based Learning

A recent report on Medical Professionalism highlights the need to define 'career journeys', embed a commitment to professionalism and foster understanding of inter-professional roles. This project will establish an enquiry led educational framework to promote self awareness and professional development in phase 1 medical students. Using EBL tools we aim to encourage understanding of health professional roles and help students explore their own suitability for a career pathway.
