Resident physicians' preparedness to provide cross-cultural care

Article Abstract:

Residents' attitudes about cross-cultural care, perception of their preparedness to deliver quality to diverse patient populations, and educational experience and educational climate regarding cross-cultural training are assessed. Resident physicians' self-reported preparedness to deliver cross-cultural care lags behind preparedness in other clinical and technical areas indicating the need for significant improvement in cross-cultural education.

Relationship between market competition and the activities and attitudes of medical school faculty

Article Abstract:

Medical school faculty in areas with managed care organizations may spend more time in patient care and less time doing research. A survey of 2,167 life-science faculty found that those in highly competitive markets published fewer articles than those in the least competitive markets. In a subset of 96 faculty with 10 or fewer years of experience, 86% of those in highly competitive markets were involved in patient care compared to 44% of those in the least competitive markets. In highly competitive markets, medical schools must charge less to attract patients, which brings in less revenue for research.
