Characteristics of Preclinical Training Reported by Final-Year Residents Who Applied to Infectious Diseases, Considered but Did Not Apply, or Were Uninterested, Controlling for International Medical Graduate Status

Characteristic	Applied vs Considered		Applied vs Uninterested
	RRRa	95% CI	RRRa	95% CI
Case-based learning	3.89**	1.46–10.31	3.70*	1.34–10.31
Nonmemorization pedagogyb	3.30*	1.16–9.43	5.43**	2.19–13.51
Taught by ID faculty	1.44	.50–4.18	1.69	.53–5.38
International medical graduate	1.87	.76–4.59	3.57**	1.57–8.13

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; ID, infectious diseases; RRR, relative risk ratio.

^a Similar to odds ratio, from multinomial logistic model simultaneously comparing applied, considered, and uninterested groups, controlling for international medical graduate status.

^b Non-memorization pedagogy includes algorithms, concept maps, and patient encounters.
