a

Indicates adjusted standardized scores for internal medicine core competencies as determined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.17 Scores were obtained from a random-intercept mixed model adjusted for the clustering of residents within faculty within programs and baseline internal medicine In-Training Examination percentile rank, time of year evaluated (July to September, October to December, January to March, or April to May), rotation setting (university, Veterans Administration, community, or public hospital), faculty rank (assistant professor/instructor/chief resident, associate professor, professor, or no rank/clinical associate), and faculty specialty (general medicine, hospital medicine, or subspecialty).

b

Compares mean adjusted standard scores between male and female residents per PGY within male and female faculty groups.

c

Compares the association of mean adjusted standard scores with resident gender, faculty gender, and PGY.
