Doctor in Genetics, National Health Service, UK
As you will remember from the first week, I have spent the last few years seriously considering whether I am in the right profession. I’ve been plagued by ‘imposter syndrome’ and negative thoughts about work. Despite being happy in my personal life, my doubts about work have had a tendency to dominate my leisure time, which has culminated in several crises of confidence, in which I have felt the only option was to find an escape, either by changing specialty or to leave medicine altogether.
My morale has much improved following the course. I feel more positive about my career and the future. I am recognising parts of work that I enjoy, feel more settled in my specialty and have no plans to leave. This has had knock-on positive effects on my personal life too.
