Will you fit if you move to a job in another culture?
In today's health care environment, many health care managers choose to move to a new setting. Because environments vary from setting to setting, a manager who plans to move needs to evaluate potential "fit" in the new locality. An evaluation of "fit" includes an assessment of both the job culture and persons in the environment. The Giger-Davidhizar transcultural assessment model provides a model for evaluating a new job culture.
