Table 3 For clinic categories 1 (resident-hosted clinic where faculty must discuss and/or see every patient encountered) and 2 (resident-hosted clinic where faculty see patients at the residents’ discretion and the faculty member may or may not be on-site), this table shows how residents felt about the degree of supervision provided in their continuity clinics (1 = moderately too much, 2 = just right, 3 = moderately insufficient), as well as whether the continuity clinic experience affected the overall stress level and if so, in what way
Clinic Category | Perceived degree of supervision | Did continuity clinic affect stress? | Increased stress | Decreased stress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1.7 (1.5–1.9) | 28% (15–46%) | 100% (68–100%) | 0% (0–32%) |
2 | 2.2 (2.0–2.3) | 46% (33–60%) | 91% (72–97%) | 9% (3–28%) |
p-value | < 0.0001 | 0.11 | 0.53 | 0.53 |
