Abstract
Background: Imposter syndrome (IS) is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals are overcome by perceptions of inadequacy and self-doubt despite one's qualifications. Evidence demonstrates increasing IS in health professions students.
Purpose: To investigate the degree of IS in graduate allied health students and explore contributing factors.
Methods: 103 physical and occupational therapy and speech-language pathology students completed an online IS survey.
Results: The median CIPS score was 68.0, indicating frequent IS symptoms. There was a statistically significant difference in CIPS score for gender with higher scores in females p=0.026.
Discussion: Frequent IS is reported by graduate allied health students with female gender playing a role in severity. Earlier identification of IS is warranted to mitigate its impact on graduate students.
