Box and Whisker and density plots for for the overall and interaction-specific challenging clinical scenarios, stratified by gender (n = 118). Comfort level ranges from 1 to 5, where 1 is “very uncomfortable” and 5 is “very comfortable.” For each panel, the box and whisker plot is on the left and the density plot is on the right. Panel a Overall score represents average comfort scores across all 24 scenarios. Panels b-d Level-specific scores represent average comfort scores across scenarios that described specific interactions with patients, peers (i.e. other medical students), and upper-levels (i.e. supervising residents and attending physicians). Panels e-k Subject-specific scores represent average comfort scores across scenarios that described interactions revolving around a specific subject (7 total subjects including gender, race/ethnicity, politics, age, sexual orientation and identity, disability, and religion)
