Participating residents were given a typing test, either in person or online, with a paragraph containing 100 alphanumeric words of a patient history. Residents were asked to rate their typing skills as slow ( 45 WPM), and to indicate importance they assigned to typing for a resident (not important/somewhat important/very important).
Participants were also asked when they learned to type (before high school/during high school/college/other) and whether they learned on a typewriter or a computer. We collected the following demographic data: specialty, postgraduate year (PGY)-1 to PGY-7, citizenship, and the country where participants attended medical school. All residents (N = 249) and fellows (N = 31) at NYMH were invited in person or via e-mail to voluntarily participate in the study.
