Statistical analysis
Students were randomized into two groups: those who took the TKI before SP encounter and those who took TKI after the SP encounter. Conflict resolution skills were assessed by the negotiation score, emotional quotient score, and entrustability. Conflict resolutions styles were reported from the TKI. Other explanatory variables included gender, URM status, and intended field of practice.Continuous variables were summarized with the median, and 25th and 75th percentiles, and categorical variables were summarized with frequencies and percentages. The outcomes were compared between groups using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test for scores and chi-square or Fisher’s exact test where appropriate for survey questions with categorical values. All tests were two-sided and the level of statistical significance was set to 0.05 without adjusting for multiple comparison. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC).
