Imposter Syndrome & the IMG Doctors.

When I first joined the NHS, I was in constant fear that I was not good enough and someone would soon find out that I was totally incompetent. I felt anxious, and my mind was filled with self-doubt.

I will spend hours thinking about what I did in the hospital, and my mind will ruminate on how I should have done things differently.

My mind will compare myself with other doctors working around me, and I was getting the constant feeling that I am way behind everyone and will never be able to catch up.

This feeling of incompetence isn’t uncommon among young doctors, and the new IMGs often feel they are not good enough.

The psychological phenomenon is called “Imposter syndrome” and if you are feeling like this, you are not alone.

Imposter Syndrome refers to a Psychological experience of believing that you are a fraud, not as competent as others perceive, and got this position just by luck.

The concept of Imposter Phenomenon/Syndrome was first studied by Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes, two female psychologists in 1978.

They studied 150 highly successful women and found that despite their academic excellence (multiple PhD's, scholastic honours, high achievement on standardised tests), they considered themselves to be "imposters."

The new IMGs will take time to understand the new system, that’s not incompetence, that’s just adjustment.

How do you overcome this feeling?

Set yourself small goals and tasks:

When everything is looking overwhelming and unachievable, setting yourself small goals and short-term tasks can help. This could be just as simple as surviving a weekend of on-call or performing a small procedure. It can give you a sense of achievement.

Seek feedback:

As junior doctors and new IMGs, you should seek feedback not just from your seniors but also from peers, nursing, and other MDT staff.

A person with imposter syndrome may feel people are extra polite with me and just saying nice things to make me happy. It is important to overcome this feeling by getting feedback from multiple sources and making notes of the positive things said about you alongside the areas of improvement.

It is often difficult to openly talk about your feeling of imposter, but as this is a common phenomenon, other professionals are able to relate to it and reassure you.

Reflect on your progress:

Sometimes, I read my old CVs and reflect on how far I have come. When our mind is constantly focusing on our deficiencies, we fail to acknowledge our success, and we need to remind ourselves.

Make a personal development plan on how you will improve yourself in the coming months and years. Putting things on paper can help clarify any doubts and plan them better.

Beat wishes
