Abstract
Results suggest that this sample of medical students was very comfortable with PPEs and willing to participate in PPEs, although a few students were uncomfortable with these examinations. No extensive curricular change appears warranted, though steps can be taken to maximize overall student comfort and to accommodate the few students who do not favor PPEs.
