Healthcare Providers Interviews

Directions for the Assignment:

Schedule a meeting with two different health care professionals. You need about 15 minutes

to ask them some questions about the health care system (see below). After the interviews

write a summary that includes answers to the points listed below. Students may work in pairs

or independently.

Each student must submit their own written work even if interviews were done with a

interviews and write a paper that addresses the questions listed below.

What is the person’s healthcare license, role or position?
