    Resumen Introducción la identidad profesional es un concepto fundamental en la educación médica, sin embargo, existe escasa investigación del tema en habla hispana. Para cerrar esta brecha, en este estudio buscamos recolectar evidencias de validez de estructura interna de la escala de Macleod Clark para identidad profesional. Métodos se realizó un estudio observacional transversal con 364 estudiantes de Medicina. Se aplicó la escala de Macleod Clark y se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y confirmatorio (AFC), así como la prueba de omega de McDonald para evaluar la consistencia interna. Resultados el AFE sugirió una estructura de 2 o 3 factores para la escala de 6 ítems y de 2 factores para la de 9 ítems. El AFC mostró que el mejor modelo era el de 3 factores para la escala de 6 ítems: autoconcepto individual, deseo de pertenencia y comparación social. Este con una consistencia interna adecuada. Conclusiones este estudio aporta evidencias de validez para el uso de la escala de identidad profesional de Macleod Clark en el contexto peruano. Esta escala está formada por 3 factores y no uno, como se describió anteriormente. Se sugiere iniciar el uso de la escala de Macleod Clark con fines investigativos y educativos, dado que el desarrollo de identidad profesional ha sido un tema poco explorado en educación médica de habla hispana.education.

    Introduction Professional identity is a fundamental concept in medical education, yet there is little research on the topic in Spanish-speaking countries. To close this gap, in this study, we sought to collect evidence of the internal structure validity of the Macleod Clark scale for professional identity. Methods A cross-sectional observational study was conducted with 364 medical students. The Macleod Clark scale was administered, and an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed, as well as the McDonald's Omega test to assess internal consistency. Results The EFA suggested a two- or three-factor structure for the 6-item scale and a two-factor structure for the 9-item scale. The CFA showed that the best model was the three-factor model for the 6-item scale: individual self-concept, desire to belong, and social comparison. This model demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Conclusions This study provides evidence of validity for the use of Macleod Clark's professional identity scale in the Peruvian context. This scale is composed of three factors, not one, as previously described. It is suggested to initiate the use of the Macleod Clark scale for research and educational purposes, given that the development of professional identity has been a little-explored topic in Spanish-speaking medical
