Professional identity among forensic medicine students: a cross-sectional study in Jiangsu Province, East China
These findings highlight the pivotal role of professional identity as a strategic mechanism for improving academic achievement in forensic medicine education, with learning engagement serving as the primary mediating factor. As a multifaceted and evolving construct, professional identity is shaped by an interplay of personal, specialty and perception factors. Generating awareness and taking measures among forensic educators to enhance students' professional identity across stages may be crucial for promoting the quality of forensic talent training.
