Practice Interview
This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice interviewing someone in preparation for your community partner interview. It also gives you the opportunity to continue the development of your ability to communicate with empathy.
Interview Topic: Patient perspective when receiving medical care.
You will interview someone who has been a medical patient to find out what their experience was like and what factors influenced the experience.
This means anyone who has been to a doctor is a potential person for you to interview for this assignment. You can interview a classmate, a colleague, a parent, spouse, older child, family member, etc. The person does not need to be a current patient but it would be preferable if they have been a patient in some capacity in the recent past so they can recall the experience clearly.
If you choose to interview a family member, the interview still needs to be formal in its setup. So do not ask your questions while eating dinner together. Set aside a time to sit together and go through the interview process. Practicing the process of the interview is slightly more important for this assignment than the content you gather.
The first step to prepare for the interview is by defining your goal for the interview and determining your focus. Use those parameters to compose your questions for the interview.
As you conduct your interview, notice:
The comfort level of your interviewee?
Did they seem nervous? What did you do to make them comfortable speaking with you?
Was the length of the interview appropriate?
The clarity of your questions
Did your interviewee understand what you were asking?
Did your interviewee answer with the information you hoped to gather from the question?
How did you decide if followup questions were needed?
Your ability to focus on listening to your interviewee’s responses
Were you actively listening? How did you communicate that active listening to your interviewee?
Your ability to analyze your interviewee’s responses after the interview
How did you record their answers?
After you finish the interview download and complete the Practice Interview Reflection Sheet Download Practice Interview Reflection Sheet(Word Document). Submit your completed document as a Word document to this assignment. ( see attachment to complet the reflection sheet)
You will share a more detailed summary of your reflection on the interview process in your process journal for this week, Process Journal: Week 2
