The Results section of the Abstract should read:
Results: Four categories showed significant improvement, including feeling prepared to teach (P < .0001), having confidence in their teaching ability (P < .0001), being aware of their expectations as a teacher (P < .0001), and feeling that their anxiety about teaching was at a healthy level (P = .0037). There was an increase in the level of enthusiasm, but the P value did not reach a significant range (P = .12). The level of enthusiasm started high and was significantly higher on the pretest than every other tested category (P < .0001).
Footnote c to Table 2 should read: P value as calculated using the Mann-Whitney U test.
