  Abstract:  A multidisciplinary team – philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, social workers, theologians and physicians – investigated in a narrative qualitative study, using focus groups and interviews with medical doctors specialized in diabetes in one University Diabetes Clinic in a County of Romania. The study unveiled multiple trajectories of professional identity development in relationship with the contextual dynamic in time – legislative turns, health sector policies, and human resource policies relative to the medical profession in the last 20 years and more. The results suggest particular ways of individual and professional group identity forging processes with respect to diabetologists. The identity stories approached in an Interpretive Phenomenological perspective propose foundational events or series of events of at the core of professional meaning making processes that justify career decisions and judgments about the meaning of work as a diabetologist.

Key words: professional identity, medical career, meaning of work
