Values based recruitment (VBR) incorporates assessment of healthcare students’ personal values using approaches like multiple mini interviews. Students’ experience of adjustment to their values during their programme is conceptualized as a ‘values journey’. Participants described a ‘values journey’ where their values, particularly communication, courage and wanting to make a difference, were both challenged and retained. A ‘values journey’ may begin early in a healthcare student’s education programme. This is important to recognize so that appropriate interventions designed to support students in higher education and clinical practice can be implemented.
