I am confident in my ability to translate scientific information to nonscientists.	4.33 (0.72)	4.53 (0.51)	3.92 (0.70)	4.20 (0.58)	.0840	.0767
I would like to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to recognize clinical problems that can be approached scientifically.	4.87 (0.35)	4.80 (0.41)	3.68 (0.95)	3.72 (0.84)	<.0001	<.0001
I have enough training now to plan and execute scientific studies that help solve a clinical problem.	2.67 (0.96)	3.73 (0.80)	2.08 (0.95)	2.76 (0.97)	.0658	.0024
I am comfortable working in a mixed group of scientists and clinicians.	4.67 (0.62)	4.73 (0.46)	4.04 (0.73)	4.16 (0.69)	.0082	.0073
Given my research interests, I am likely to produce work that will someday improve human health.	4.73 (0.60)	4.73 (0.60)	3.96 0.98	3.96 (0.93)	.0093	.0068
