a
Groups as randomized were modMBSR (n = 11) and control (n = 10). One participant (a female, white, categorical general surgery resident) inadvertently attended the wrong first class and was therefore transferred to the modMBSR group.
b
No participants of Hispanic or other race/ethnicity were enrolled.
