Abstract

Written from the author's multiple perspectives as a medical educator, physician, and cancer survivor, this reflective piece explores professional identity formation as a process that extends beyond the acquisition of communication skills, drawing attention to the distinction between language and communication. By weaving together educational practice and lived experience, the text invites readers to pause and consider how becoming a doctor is a deeply personal process that requires space for reflection, uncertainty, and the search for one's own language and meaning, in teaching as well as in our personal and professional lives.

The journal’s audience includes researchers and practitioners: researchers who wish to explore challenging questions of health professions education and clinical teachers who wish to both advance their practice and envision for themselves a collaborative role in scholarly educational innovation. This audience of researchers, clinicians and educators is both international and interdisciplinary. The journal has a long history. In 1982, the journal was founded by the Dutch Association for Medical Education, as a Dutch language journal (Netherlands Journal of Medical Education). As a Dutch journal it fuelled educational research and innovation in the Netherlands. It is one of the factors for the Dutch success in medical education. In 2012, it widened its scope, transforming into an international English language journal. The journal swiftly became international in all aspects: the readers, authors, reviewers and editorial board members. The editorial board members represent the different parental disciplines in the field of medical education, e.g. clinicians, social scientists, biomedical scientists, statisticians and linguists. Several of them are leading scholars. Three of the editors are in the top ten of most cited authors in the medical education field. Two editors were awarded the Karolinska Institute Prize for Research. Presently, Erik Driessen leads the journal as Editor in Chief.
