## Resource

In part 2 of Artifacts of the Mind , we flip the script: what if imposter syndrome isn't a flaw...but a signal for growth? Maddi and Jeff are joined by Hanna Zafar, MD MHS to explore the idea of "failing up" - rethinking failure not as something to hide, but something to use. Because while residency makes learning loud, post-training culture often makes it silent - and that's exactly where doubt thrives. We get into why failure is not just inevitable, but essential for progress - and how embracing it can reshape both mindset and culture. This isn't about "coping" with imposter syndrome. It's about redefining it and owning it. So don't avoid failure - use it. Claim your CME here: https://shorturl.at/afPqu Find the JACR articles here: https://shorturl.at/tU3mX
