: None of the authors have any conflict of interest.
: This project was reviewed by our IRB and declared exempt from IRB oversight, as the data was collected for continuing education needs assessment. Labor unions representing the employees also reviewed and approved the project.
: Participation in baseline and endpoint surveys for this project were voluntary and anonymous. To protect anonymity, we used a passive consent system. Every survey had a cover letter explaining the purpose of the survey, the risks/benefits for participating, and noting that participation was completely voluntary and anonymous. This approach to consent was reviewed and approved by both the IRB and labor unions.
