  • Data are the mean (SC), except for Pearson's r.

  • * The maximum score on the GCCT is 100. Scores above 70 are considered passing (i.e., competent), scores from 60–70 are marginal, and scores below 60 are considered failing (i.e., incompetent).

  • Difference scores were computed by calculating the difference between the GCCT rating obtained via telemedicine and the live interview.
