Publication Being an Imposter: Growing Out of Impostership(Nepal Medical Association, 2020) Mainali, SuminaAbstract: Imposter syndrome is the fear of being discovered as an intellectual fraud. It is an internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be. It lowers a person’s inner self-confidence, self-esteem that impedes work performance and this phenomenon is more prevalent among medical students.
