Resumen : Background: Despite increased emphasis on cost-consciousness in graduate medical training, there is little empirical evidence of the role of attending physician supervision on resident practice in this area. Objective: To study whether the prescribing practices of attendings influence residents' prescribing of brand-name statin medications in the ambulatory clinic setting. Design and participants: A retrospective study of statin prescriptions by residents at two internal medicine residency programs, using electronic medical record data from July 2007 through November 2011. Main measures: We estimated multivariable hierarchical logistic regression models to assess the independent effect of the supervising attending's rate of brand-name prescribing in the preceding quarter on the likelihood of a resident prescribing a brand-name statin.
