Abstract: May 2025 Mission Group
One Year Later: Professional Identity Formation Sustained Through Cultural Humility This presentation reflects on the longer-term impact of a global medical mission trip to Antigua, Guatemala on students’ professional identity formation through the continued development of cultural humility. Drawing from patient and team experiences during the trip, students will discuss how those experiences continued to shape their learning, teamwork, clinical practice, and understanding of themselves over the following year. This session highlights how global mission experiences can foster lasting growth in both professional formation and relational responsiveness.
