Means \u00b1 SEM were summarized by illness and subgroup (students\/doctors), illnesses were ranked, and group alignment was examined using Pearson r (95% CI via Fisher z), Spearman rho, and two-way ICCs based on illness-level subgroup means. Benjamini-Hochberg false discovery rate adjustment was applied to per-presentation tests. A generalizability-theory decision study (D-study) projected reliability (G-coefficient) across different numbers of student raters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty-nine usable responses were analyzed (39 students, 10 faculty\/physicians). Highest-rated items included asthma, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, gastroenteritis, febrile seizure, iron deficiency anemia, and heart murmur. Students\u2019 and doctors\u2019 illness-level means were strongly aligned (Pearson r\u202f=\u202f0.863, 95% CI 0.794\u20130.910,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001; Spearman rho\u202f=\u202f0.867, 95% CI 0.798\u20130.914,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001;\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f81).
