TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review essential elements of these three domains, identify features relevant to medical PIF, and describe strategies reported in the medical education literature that may influence PIF.

TL;DR: The authors describe the process for defining PIF and developing a framework, which includes 10 key aspects, 6 domains, and 30 subdomains to characterize the complexity of physician identity, which is critical to the practice of exemplary medicine and the well-being of patients and physicians.

TL;DR: Assessment of humanism in UME incorporates a limited scope of a complex construct, often relying on single quantitative measures from self-reported survey instruments, which highlights the need for multiple methods, perspectives, and longitudinal designs to strengthen the validity of humanist assessments.

TL;DR: Offering PHT has resulted in the growth of training for medical residents, faculty, physical therapy students and the creation of a student healer association, and in serial assessments, students report continued growth in personal development, professional development, and the ability to empathize.

TL;DR: Sufficient evidence was found to suggest that these measures assess aspects of Pif, and use of these measures as part of a multidimensional, longitudinal approach to refining understanding of the construct of PIF and developing effective assessment strategies was found.
