Imposter syndrome has long been framed as a personal flaw, an inner voice whispering that we don’t belong. But what if those doubts aren’t coming from within, but from the system itself?
In this episode of MedEd Insights, we speak with Dr. LaDonna, first author of Introducing the intruder paradox: ”It's not the imposter syndrome, it's you don't want me in the field”, to explore their groundbreaking study of women physicians and trainees across Canada. Their research introduces the Intruder Paradox: a powerful new lens that reveals how external forces, not internal weakness, often drive feelings of not belonging.
Together, they unpack the stories behind the data, the risks of mislabeling structural exclusion as personal insecurity, and what educators and leaders can do to create a culture where everyone belongs.
If you’ve ever wrestled with imposter feelings, or mentored someone who has, this conversation might just change the way you see the phenomenon altogether.
