The authors administered pre and posttests to measure provider confidence in treating specific mental health diagnoses, utilizing specific classes of psychotropic medications, and managing specific clinical scenarios. Questions were ranked using a Likert scale from 1 (least comfortable) to 5 (very comfortable). Paired sample <i>t</i>-tests were utilized to compare the pre- and posttest survey results.
