Mentoring & Imposter Syndrome: More than just guidance

Join us as we delve into the world of surgical mentorship, exploring what makes a good mentor through real-life stories and practical tips. We sat down with Michaella Cameron, Ian Kamaly-Asl & Casie Sweeney to discuss the qualities that make a great mentor, the benefits of mentoring for both mentor and mentee, and how mentorship can foster growth, communication, and leadership skills. We also tackle the tricky subject of imposter syndrome - an issue many professionals, including mentors, face. Tune in for an engaging and insightful conversation that highlights the transformative power of mentorship in surgery.

Guest: Michaella Cameron

Michaella Cameron is an ST6 ENT registrar in London with a strong interest in mentoring and supporting surgical trainees. She is a member of the BRS Juniors Committee and the WINS Forum. As an RCS Emerging Leaders alumna, she is committed to empowering women in surgery and improving diversity for ethnic minority doctors.

Guest: Ian Kamaly-Asl

Ian Kamaly-Asl is Professor of paediatric neurosurgery at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. He is the Society of British Neurological Surgeons (SBNS) representative on the Royal College of Surgeons of England Council. He is the SBNS lead for tackling bullying, undermining and harassment and introduced the SBNS national mentoring scheme.

Guest: Casie Sweeney

Casie is a CT2 in Orthopaedics and a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps, where she has served for 17 years—proving that career paths don’t always follow a straight line; sometimes, they take detours through war zones. She is passionate about training, mentoring, and leadership, firmly believing that investing in these will save the NHS. When she’s not moving through the hospital like a controlled explosion, she’s a dedicated daughter, sister, and godmother who enjoys running, lifting, and keeping her houseplants (mostly) alive.
