INTRODUCTION
Professional identity is a form of social identity which would be the feeling of cohesion that
individuals have had with a career and to what degree individuals identify oneself as professional
bodies (Avidov-Ungar and Forkosh-Baruch, 2018). Professional identification is the integration
of duties, obligations, beliefs and ethical principles by the person in order to be compatible with
activities recognized by their particular profession. Professional identity forming is a dynamic
mechanism wherein the meaning of belonging with a career becomes formed, with some of the
complexities resulting from combining personal identification with professional identity. It starts
to evolve when individuals obtain experience for their position through college.

assessment covers the several topics such as importance of on-going professional development,
assessment of own skills, capabilities and abilities by using different learning and approaches. In
addition, it also covers the professional development plan to improve their skills and further
