This transition influences professional identity formation (PIF), which is important for safe practice, well\u2010being and resilience. We conducted a scoping review to map studies of PIF during this transition and synthesise the key findings of this body of literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We searched five databases for studies published between January 2000 and December 2023.
