Impostor Syndrome

UNSTRUCTURED Is it possible that medical students suffer from impostor syndrome due to inadequate teaching methods? Although there is no evidence to support this hypothesis, it is worth exploring: impostor syndrome could be an outcome of defective teaching methodology in medical schools. Students who are most affected may be the ones most invested in growth and learning, and the impostor feelings could signify a tendency to simplify, understand and explain essential concepts. This could translate into a talent in medical teaching. A personal experience that led to a vocation for medical education is used as an example of this internal process that could benefit medical students and healthcare professionals with similar perceptions.
