Impostorism

Imposter syndrome (IS) refers to a sensation of not belonging, out-of-place-ness, and the conviction that one's competence, success is fraudulent and inauthentic. It's often enclosed as an individual problem to be overcome, for example, by keeping a list of achievements to remind oneself of evidenced accomplishments, by talking about one's confusions and precariousness. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of imposter syndrome, explore the frequency distribution of imposter syndrome in different institutions, and assess the factor contributing to imposter syndrome among medical college students.
