    Background: Impostor syndrome (IS) is marked by persistent self-doubt and the fear of being perceived as a fraud, even in the presence of clear accomplishments, and it notably affects high-achieving individuals. This study examined IS prevalence and associated factors among postgraduate anatomy students in Türkiye. Materials and Methods: Using the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale, 79 participants were surveyed to assess IS levels alongside demographic and psychiatric variables. Results: The results revealed that 39.2% of participants exhibited frequent impostor feelings (FIF) or intense impostor experiences (IIE). Notably, individuals with psychiatric conditions had significantly higher IS levels, with 64.7% classified in the FIF category and 17.6% in IIE, compared to those without psychiatric issues, who predominantly fell into lower IS categories (p<0.05). No statistically significant associations were observed between IS and demographic variables, including gender, marital status, or education level. However, individuals with no income were overrepresented in the IIE category, aligning with findings from studies suggesting a link between socioeconomic status and heightened IS levels. Conclusion: This study underscores the prevalence of IS in postgraduate students within a demanding academic discipline and highlights its association with psychiatric conditions. Increasing awareness of IS, particularly in high-stress, perfectionist professions such as academia, is critical. Such efforts can improve recognition, provide targeted interventions, and mitigate IS’s impact on individual well-being and professional performance.
