As secondary analysis, same PGY-2 was also Baseline assessed use overall percentage scores. Results: significantly among (mean standard deviation, 62.2 ± 9.9) those it (mean, 59.2 6.2) (p = 0.2). A significant difference 0.04) found rotation, scoring 64.5 6.8) than 58.8 8.9). subgroup both test scored 0.01) neither these experiences 65.6 8.0 56.9 6.4, respectively). Conclusions: An alone does enhance an resident’s as standardized test. However, before, particular combination can improve scores.
