Baseline Characteristics
We received consent from all 104 medical students and were able to complete the quantitative research. Six small groups (30 medical students) were able to complete the qualitative research. The mean age of the participants was 23.4 years, of which 75.0% were men. We found no statistically significant differences between the intervention control groups. None of the participants had prior clinical clerkship rotation in ophthalmology.
