What are the components of professional identity and personal identity?
With a list of components, it's easier to design competency statements, measure degree of adoption, and design learning experiences.
What models are prominent?
My research area is in Structural Symbolic Interactionism (Stryker, 1980) and in Identity Theory (Burke, 1991), which investigates how role identities are adopted, enacted and transformed through interaction. I have found the area to be an excellent place to start in conceptualizing the various role identities we acquire in both our personal and professional lives. These areas also work well in conjunction with Tajfel and Turner's works in Social Identity theory, where SSI and IT represent the sociological sphere of identity articulation, and SIT reflects psychological approaches. I can imagine a number of ways to KSAs using these theories as a reference.
