Imposter Syndrome for Surgeons
We have become increasingly aware that many surgeons experience some form of imposter syndrome within their career. We have developed this online course that unlocks tools and strategies to overcome imposter syndrome.
By taking this course, you will gain essential skills and invaluable insight that will help you achieve healthier thought patterns, boost confidence, and enhance leadership and collaboration within your teams. This course also includes conversations and first-hand accounts of imposter syndrome as experienced by surgeons and the wider surgical team.
This course is worth 5 CPD points.
