Dr. Eric Yarbrough’s insightful reflection brought to mind my own anxiety several years ago when I was asked to supervise nurse practitioner trainees. It was that experience that added another dimension to my understanding of my own clinical fluency. If we can be with our students on their journey, as we must be with our patients, that partnership does well to allay imposter syndrome. ■
