A, Overall results. B, Results stratified by tier of residency program based on exam takers’ mean American Board of Internal Medicine certifying exam knowledge scores. Quintiles of regional practice intensity are based on the number of physician visits in the last 6 months of life (End-of-Life Visit Index). Regression coefficient is for the linear regression of the mean program ACM score (continuous) on the regional End-of-Life Visit Index (continuous).
