^*Results are for a multivariate ordinal logistic regression model using satisfaction with rotation elements listed in Table 1 to predict odds of increased overall satisfaction, measured on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Not at All Satisfied) to 5 (Very Satisfied). Only those items that were statistically significant predictors of overall satisfaction are included in the table

^‡Results are adjusted for pre-clerkship interest and site (reference groups include those students that responded “Somewhat Likely” (3) and those students from site 1, respectively).
