^*The overall year-adjusted mean percentages of graduates ranking general surgery first among universities were significantly different (p < 0.001).

^†The adjusted mean represents the overall mean percentage of graduates’ rankings by school adjusted for year.

^‡The coefficient represents the mean yearly increase in percent rankings in each school starting in 1997.
