Presentation Overview

Imposter feelings can shape how students approach internships, clinical experiences, field placements, and other experiential learning opportunities. This interactive session explores why students may question whether they belong, how those feelings can influence academic and workplace engagement, and practical, research-informed strategies professionals can use to help students build confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy.
