Background  Fostering personal identity formation and professional development among undergraduate medical students is challenging. Based on situated learning, experiential learning and role-modelling frameworks, a six-week course was developed to remediate lapses in professionalism among undergraduate medical students. This study aims to explore the students’ perceptions of their personal identity formation and professional development following completion of the course.    Methods  This qualitative study, adopting a phenomenological design, uses the participants’ reflective diaries as primary data sources. In the pilot course, field work, role-model shadowing and discussions with resource personnel were conducted. A total of 14 students were asked to provide written self-reflections. Consistent, multi-source feedback was provided throughout the course. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the key processes of personal and professional development among the students during remediation.    Results  Three main themes were revealed. First, students highlighted the strength of small group activities in helping them ‘internalise the essential concepts’. Second, the role-model shadowing supported their understanding of ‘what kind of medical doctors they would become’. Third, the field work allowed them to identify ‘what the “noble values” are and how to implement them in daily practice’.    Conclusion  By implementing multimodal activities, the course has high potential in supporting personal identity formation and professional development among undergraduate pre-clinical medical students, as well as remediating their lapses in professionalism. However, there are challenges in implementing the model among a larger student population and in documenting the long-term impact of the course.
