This qualitative study evaluated the perception of academics about their self-image as future doctors and the factors that influenced the construction of their professional identity. Thirty-two sixth-year medical students in Brazil and Portugal were interviewed. Content analysis in the thematic modality and Goffman's dramaturgy were used for data analysis and interpretation. The idealized self-image was revealed in two themes: the doctor centered on himself and the one who values the interpersonal relationship. A third theme showed the influence of the University and of elements brought a priori in the doctor's identity. The results indicate the influence of the hidden curriculum in the construction of professional identity and reinforce the importance of social and humanistic aspects in medical education
