Understanding Health Care Graduates’ Conceptualizations of Transitions: A Longitudinal Qualitative Research Study

Conclusions This novel study illustrates conceptualizations of transitions as broadly consistent with existing higher education literature but extends this research considerably by identifying differences in conceptualizations across time. The authors encourage health care learners, educators, and policy makers to develop expanded and more sophisticated understandings of transitions to ensure that health care learners can better navigate often challenging graduate transitions. Further research should explore stakeholders’ transition conceptualizations over lengthier durations beyond the new graduate transition.
