Small-Group Discussion Sessions on Imposter Syndrome
November 10, 2020 MedEdPORTAL
Imposter syndrome has been associated with burnout among residents. To address the issue of imposter syndrome, Baumann et al. assessed the impacts of small-group facilitator-guided interactive discussion sessions among residents. The 30- to 45-minute sessions were seen as an effective method to promote resiliency and wellness among residents. The appendices of the article contain helpful resources for those interested in emulating the small-group discussion sessions on imposter syndrome, including a facilitator guide, handout and survey.
