*Significant statistical difference in ratings before and after FT was determined by Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

aMean confidence gains in facilitation skills among attendees retrospectively after FT at four national Facilitating Entering Mentoring workshops (n = 85). Self-confidence was measured using a Likert-like scale with 1 = no confidence, 2 = low confidence, 3 = some confidence, and 4 = much confidence.
