MAOFP Virtual Physician Lounge: Imposter Syndrome

MAOFP Virtual Physician Lounge: Imposter Syndrome

October 4, 2021 7:30 - 8:30pm 

Hosted by: Myral Robbins, DO and Samantha MacKay-Forton, MHS, OMS III

Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you haven’t earned your success, you simply got lucky, and you’re a fraud or an imposter around people who actually earned it and know what they’re doing. It is an increasing prevalent issue in the high-stakes and evaluative culture of medicine.

This event seeks to generate a conversation by exploring stereotypes including gender, culture and style and offering tactics to overcome the sense of not owning your innate skills and earning your own success. Participation is complimentary for physicians, residents and medical students.
