  ‘Like an infant … trying to run a marathon’: A longitudinal audio-diary study exploring the transition from medical school to internship - An audio paper with Stuart Pattinson 28.08.2026 57min

  The transition from student to doctor represents a challenging shift in identity and responsibility that many graduates find difficult to manage. To understand better how to support the transition to practice we need an exploration of graduates' experiences that does not see the transition as a single moment, but a continuous learning process. This study aimed to explore how medical students negotiate legitimate participation and professional identity formation (PIF) through time as they transitioned to internship in South Africa.
