Imposter Syndrome Thriving in Scrubs

Imposter syndrome is something many medical trainees experience, yet it is rarely formally discussed. We talk to Mia, Lynette, and Hayley, three fourth year medical students, about their own experiences with imposter syndrome and how they’ve learned to both recognize and address it. We discuss that while imposter syndrome has the potential to distance us, it also has the power to build community and relationships based on these shared experiences.
