The second email (Appendix 3) will be sent on day 8 of the study period serving as a reminder to participate in the survey with link once again attached. The final email (Appendix 4) will be distributed on day 14 of the study period serving as a final reminder for fellows to complete the survey if they have not already and that the survey will close at midnight.
