Question
Fairfax Metropolitan Hospital
Fairfax Metropolitan Hospital is a moderately-sized teaching hospital seeking to diversify its staff - a need identified by several accrediting agencies. As still another accreditation visit looms, Fairfax must replace the head of the nursing unit, a department in urgent need of modernizing.
The Search Committee is interviewing a remarkably qualified candidate named Dr. Saryn Soysa. Dr. Soysa, originally from Sri Lanka, has been educated in U.S. universities. She is a very pleasant, very heavyset, young woman. At 32, she is very young for a Director of Nursing position. The Search Committee is very impressed with her credentials, but clearly concerned about her age (youth) and her weight. The HR Manager fears that the hospital CEO will share these concerns.
