*Effect size is the increase in overall satisfaction, measured on a 100-point scale, per increase in domain score, measured on a 5-point scale. Effect sizes were adjusted to reflect mean respondent by subspecialty grouping (procedural vs. non-procedural), computed for a PGY-4, and corrected for year of survey and facility nesting.
