Healthcare Interview

 This assignment will allow you to examine the role of a health care manager regarding ethical issues and decision-making. It will also provide you with an opportunity to practice your professional skills in conducting interviews and communication, in general. Being able to have professional conversations with all stakeholders in an organization, including managers at various levels, is an important skill to have as a health care manager.

Research a health care facility (pharmacy, medical office, nursing home, hospital). Become familiar with the company, including the mission, vision, and goals of the company.

Select a leadership position at the facility; for example, a supervisor, manager, director, vice president, compliance officer, or similar. Contact the person you have selected to set up an interview. 

**Complete the interview questionnaire for the person you selected. Answer lengths will vary, but it is expected that you will provide at least one paragraph for each question (excluding question 2).

**Note: Within the questions we use a generalized term of “person interviewed.” This term refers to the leadership position at a facility that you selected. Example leadership positions include a supervisor, manager, director, vice president, compliance officer, or similar.
