P values are shown only for those items in which a statistically significant difference was noted between 2013 and 2015. For the following items, the difference in change over time for faculty was statistically significant: face-to-face learning time (P=0.007). For the following items, the difference in change over time for trainees was statistically significant: Ability to take history and conduct physical examination (P=0.004), ability to formulate differential diagnosis and plan independently (P<0.001), ability to learn (P<0.001), and ability to develop effective interactions with patients (P=0.016). For the following items, the difference in change over time for faculty versus trainees was statistically significant: ability to take history and conduct physical examination (P<0.001), ability to formulate differential diagnosis and plan independently (P<0.001), ability to learn (P<0.001), and ability to develop effective interaction with patients (P=0.017).
