  • The first number in each cell indicates the training prevalence (i.e., the number of group members who reported any training experience on a given activity). The second number in each cell reflects the median years of training among the group members who reported any training experience on a given activity. The three groups reported comparable training prevalence (100%) and training durations (7–8 years) on their respective specialties. By contrast, each group reported relatively higher training prevalence and longer training durations on the activity specific to their group. n/a, Not applicable.
