IG, intervention groups (IG1, subgroup unexposed to reminder but undergoing a posttest at midpoint; IG2, subgroup exposed to reminder and a posttest at midpoint; IG3, subgroup unexposed to reminder and receiving no posttest); CG, control group; n, number of participants completing the competency tests; SD, standard deviation; X, subgroups IG3 and CG did not undergo a posttest.
