Survey responses were scored on a 5-point Likert scale with 1=strongly disagree and 5=strongly agree. Total providers available to complete a survey at any time point, N = 190.

Mann-Whitney U. Comparison is to aggregate pre-training survey data for all providers (including providers not participating in simulation-based training)
