*All comparisons done using unpaired ttests
†Controlled for any fellowship training, any faculty appointment type, amount of time spent in hospital-based and community-based practice, percentage of time spent in teaching and administration, research salary support, and previous experience in evaluating curricula
‡Skills were rated on a 6-point scale, where 0 = none, 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = very good, and 5 = excellent
§Level of enjoyment was assessed using a 4-point scale, where 0 = none, 1 = a little, 2 = moderate amount, 3 = a lot
