Cover Story: This study explored professional and interprofessional (IP) identity in recent graduates of a Doctor of Physical Therapy program in the United States working in inpatient settings. Major themes related to professional identity included: from patient to physical therapist, profession exceeding expectations, connection with patient, and role affirmation through meaningful work. Themes related to IP identity included: valuing different mindsets, authenticity of IP education, feeling misunderstood, perceived vs. true hierarchy, differing team dynamics, and being on the same page. Findings were considered in the context of social identity theory, intercontact group theory, and the IP socialization framework. IP education focusing on longitudinal socialization from education through practice may best support developing collaborative clinicians. View this paper
