Imposter syndrome in doctors beyond training : a narrative review

OBJECTIVE: To undertake a narrative literature review of imposter syndrome (IS) in doctors beyond training.

METHOD: Twelve studies met inclusion criteria from a systematised search of three databases.

RESULTS: There is a paucity of literature on IS, although it has been observed across a diverse range of specialties. IS appears to be more common in female doctors but is also seen amongst male doctors. IS impacts career progression, leadership and mental health.

CONCLUSIONS: IS causes professional and personal detriment. Solutions must include institutional changes to foster safer workplaces and to address systemic barriers to help-seeking and peer support. Systemic interventions are the only solution to the systemic drivers of IS.
