The questionnaire survey about professional identity was conducted before and after clinical practice. A group of counselors for occupational guidance were set up in the study group. The changes of students' attitude towards professional identity were compared before and after clinical practice. Results 〓Students in the control group achieved lower scores of 5 dimensions at the end of the internship(P0.01).
