Changes in internal medicine, medicine-pediatrics, pediatrics, and general surgery subspecialty choice in participants, before and after COVID-19^a.

Abbreviations: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ^a Questions about subspecialty choice were only presented to respondents who indicated an interest in Internal Medicine, Med-Peds, Pediatrics, and General Surgery. Only participants’ first choice was counted to avoid counting a participant more than once. ^b Denominator for percentages is the number of respondents in the primary analysis who answered both before and after parts of this particular survey item. The total n does not equal n = 212 of the primary analysis as not all participants were considering Internal Medicine, Medicine-Pediatrics, Pediatrics, and General Surgery. In addition, the primary analysis inclusion criteria did not necessitate participants to specify specialty before and after COVID-19. ^c Denominator for percentages is the total number of participants who answered this particular survey item, both before and after parts, regardless of answering any other parts of the survey.
