Veterinary students construct a complex veterinary identity through narratives in response to RIPLS scale items focusing on roles and identities. Nine students participated in talk-alouds where they shared stories about vet, interprofessional vet, interprofessional, and One Health identities. Vets are described in the stories as communicators with a wide range of tasks, advocating for themselves and their profession. Veterinary interprofessionals act as multi-level team players in an animal health care team with an emphasis on shared goals and team safety. Interprofessional identity includes skills and attitudes shared with other healthcare fields, discovered through casual interactions. One Health is seen as a key interprofessional space for collaboration for the greater good. Students showed ambiguity around identities and roles in the RIPLS items. The findings confirm the complexity of veterinary identities and highlight the need for better tools to explore them.
