Table 4.
Correlation: | Overall Trainee Comfort Level |
---|---|
Competency – patient care | 0.6382 |
(n=109) | <0.0001 |
Competency – empathetic communication skills | 0.6548 |
(n=116) | <0.0001 |
Competency – professionalism | 0.6850 |
(n=115) | <0.0001 |
The correlation between overall trainee comfort level and each of the competencies (patient care, empathetic communication skill and professionalism) are significant. All correlations are positive.
Note: The above correlation was run using all three evaluators. When the correlation was stratified by evaluator, the correlation was not significant between comfort and professionalism for the principal investigator (p=0.0859).
