Odds ratios are adjusted for student sex and year in medical school. JHLES = Johns Hopkins Learning Environment Scale; CFM = Clinical Foundations of Medicine; JHLES total and domain ratings were dichotomized at item mean of 3.5; LC component item ratings were dichotomized as “exceptional” and “a lot” of value vs. other.
