    Total GCCT score* rater 178 (14.67)82 (14.31)
    Total GCCT score rater 274 (12.84)83 (17.49)
    Pearson's r.93 (p < .001).92 (p < .001)
    Difference score†5.45 (4.00)4.80 (5.43)
    • 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.
