AbstractImposter phenomenon (IP) is the internalised experience of self-doubt or mediocracy that leads an individual to believe they do not belong. IP is increasingly recognised across the medical field, from medical school to consultancy, but likely affects different groups to varying extents. The transition in role from medical student to junior doctor can be a time of particularly high stress and insecurities about one's ability can act as a trigger or exacerbator of IP. Foundation doctors can arm themselves against IP by first acknowledging its existence and then actively attempting to dismantle these flawed misconceptions, as well as accessing support and resources available ubiquitously through the foundation programme.Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).
