β coefficient; CI confident interval.
In bold: statistically significant associations.
Each university was compared with the others (for example, the coefficient for USMP had as reference the rest of the physicians who did not study at USMP). Also the estimates were adjusted for variables externship and hospital.
Regression multiple model that included the variables university, externship and hospital.
