Figure. Boxplot of cognitive pre- and posttest scores before and after the simulation curriculum. Boxes represent the interquartile range for each test, with the lower edge of the box representing the 25th percentile and the upper edge of the box representing the 75th percentile; error bars represent the maximum and minimum values for each test. Dark lines within each box represent the median value for each group. Open circles represent outliers. Cognitive posttest scores improved by 15% on average from pretest baseline (p = .002). Average pretest score was 8.3 out of 12, and average posttest score was 10.2.
