Correlation Coefficients^a Between Proportion of Students Receiving Honors in Each Clerkship at a Program

Program	Surgery	Pediatrics	Internal Medicine	Psychiatry	Family Medicine	Obstetrics and Gynecology
Surgery		0.525	0.549	0.522	0.574	0.460
Pediatrics	0.525		0.632	0.719	0.591	0.617
Internal medicine	0.549	0.632		0.509	0.539	0.689
Psychiatry	0.522	0.719	0.509		0.576	0.615
Family medicine	0.574	0.591	0.539	0.576		0.619
Obstetrics and gynecology	0.460	0.617	0.689	0.615	0.619

^aNote: The correlation coefficient (r) measures the strength of the relationship between 2 variables (eg, a program with a high proportion of students receiving honors in psychiatry will also have a high proportion of students receiving honors in pediatrics; r = 0.719).
