This interactive session will help you recognise the patterns that keep you stuck in self-doubt, understand how imposter syndrome connects to burnout and over-functioning, and leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to silence your inner critic, without abandoning the standards that make you a great doctor-based strategies to silence your inner critic, without abandoning the standards that make you a great doctor.
