“…The paternalistic approach to patient care is changing, albeit at different speeds around the world [7,8,9]. The need to allow increased decision-making by patients is being increasingly recognized in the literature [10]. Empowered patients feel more confidence in the decision reached as it incorporates both their preferences and the doctor's expertise [11].…”

Interest in international multicenter clinical trials is increasing for a variety of reasons. Working with different cultures in clinical research creates its own unique set of problems. This paper focuses on these issues from multicenter and multicultural perspectives. The influence of culture on patient-doctor communication is considered. Expectations and the use of outcomes measurements with different cultures are also explored. Details on the issue of pain and how it is expressed and measured in different cultures is also presented. Having considered the patient-doctor dynamic, the paper concludes with an examination of the unique difficulties that international multicenter studies present. Multicultural differences manifest themselves in different forms in international clinical research. Although its impact is often ignored or minimized, this manuscript demonstrates that the impact of culture on a study's success is a very real issue. In addition to secondary sources, examples from our own clinical investigations are outlined throughout this paper. A successful model to locate researchers in previously untapped countries is also outlined.

Resident participation in the political action committee (PAC) is important for professional advocacy and for ensuring access to quality musculoskeletal care. The following questions were asked: Would faculty contribution-matching increase donation rates and amounts among orthopedic surgery residents at a single institution? What barriers do residents self-identify that prevent or delay PAC participation? How do residents perceive a faculty contribution-matching program? Residents at 1 institution were encouraged to participate in the PAC before and after the introduction of a faculty contribution-matching program. In addition, telephone follow-up was performed and resident perceptions were assessed regarding the program and barriers to participation. Rates of participation, amounts donated, and perceptions are reported. Resident participation in the PAC increased from 10% to 95% following the introduction of a faculty contribution-matching program. The second group of residents contributed 67 cents for every dollar given by the first group. Significant barriers identified included time constraints and an inability to access the PAC Web portal. Ninety-four percent of the initial nonresponders said that they made joining the PAC a priority after learning about the faculty contribution-matching program. They specifically cite giving greater attention to an issue that the faculty value. Four months after the initial e-mail, 100% of residents had contributed. Residents believe that professional activism is important but ascribe it a lower priority than other professional duties. Residency programs might facilitate resident involvement in the PAC by instituting faculty contribution-matching and by assisting junior residents with their American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons login information.
