  1. Table 7 displays the four main domains for the pre-test and post-test practical skill scores for each residency level separately which shows significant p values for all residency levels at all the domains, and by comparing pre-test scores among the four resident levels, only equipment setup and intubation steps showed significant p value of <0.001, while post-test scores showed almost similar scores for all the residency levels
