Doctors often have a falsely exaggerated view of their own capabilities, a new study suggests.
In fact, physicians who were judged by outsiders to be the worst performers in a given area often gave themselves especially high marks, researchers report.
“There is a subset of clinicians who appear, either by training or personality, unable to judge themselves,” said study lead researcher Dr. David Davis, a professor of health policy management and evaluation at the University of Toronto, in Canada.
