Scenario
Your
hospital is in need of someone to fill a new position. The spot calls for some
very specific skills, education, and experience, but you happen to have an old
friend who exactly fits the bill. In addition, he has mentioned to you that he
feels it is time to make a change and has been contemplating looking for a new
job. You give him a call and he said that he is very interested, so you call
the head of the department in question and tell him about your friend. The
department head is very excited and tells you to have him call for an
interview. You do and everything seems fine. Several weeks pass and your friend
calls you and asks if you have any idea what happened with the job. He
interviewed and everything went well, but he never heard back and just learned
that the position had been filled with someone who has no experience and a much
different background. You call the department head and relay the question.
After some hemming and hawing, the department head makes some vague statement
about your friend not being a "good fit." He was afraid that your
friend's "accent" might make it difficult for him to be understood,
and he was concerned about his work ethic since he came from a cultural
background that has a more "laidback" work ethic. You hang up and
think about it. Your friend is from Jamaica and does have an accent and very
relaxed personality, but is certainly not lazy. Then you realize that he is
also a minority and that this particular department not only has no minority employees,
but never has had one.

This week's
introduction noted that culture was a lot like air. It is all around us, but we
really do not pay attention to it unless it is absent or smells odd. The same
is true about our culture. We do not think much about it, and we go through our
lives feeling that things are the way they are because that is the way they
ought to be. This week, start sniffing the cultural air around you, including
your workplace's communication styles and barriers. Additionally, examine
specific cultural healthcare practices and values regarding health promotion
and illness prevention.
For the
initial post, address the following:
What do you
learn about our culture?
Identify
some things that are distinctively "American." Do not include only
material culture (objects and physical symbols), but include non-material
culture such as language, values, ideology, ethics, behaviors, and the like.

your local culture from your national culture?

A cellphone
company once ran a television ad touting its call reliability, in which a young
man is talking to his future father-in-law, who is telling him to address him
by his first name and consider him a friend. The young man launches into a
series of variations of the first name. Unknown to either party, the call is
dropped and the young man does not hear any response from the father. He
becomes very nervous and disconcertedly reverts to "Mr." and
"Sir." The ad's message is clear: Use our service and this sort of
thing won't happen.
For the
initial post, address the following:
Why do you
think the ad agency chose this power relationship for its commercial? Is it one
to which you can relate?
Have you
had any kind of similar experience at your workplace or school (e.g., with a
patient, client, or professor), not necessarily on a cellphone?
Have you
encountered the power relationships exemplified in the commercial when
implementing various healthcare practices such as disease prevention? Are
co-workers and patient receptive?

Summary
A Kansas

interview, you stated that you could serve as a valuable asset to this company.
You noted your long-standing history of selecting the best candidates for a
variety of positions and stated that you could bring the sales division back to
its place as the leading resource of your organization. You want to perform
well at this job because it is a big career move for you. You know that if
people trust your judgement about the quality of the people you hire, that they
will trust your judgement about other matters as well. Also, the more
successful HR managers in this company tend to move to higher positions within
the organization. This job also includes spending some leisure time after 5:00
P.M. with prospective clients.
Job
Requirements
Your job is

resume states, I have been a medical sales consultant for five years. I have

Informatics.
