The interviewee must be someone who has had health problems, or works with someone with health problems that impact their life expectations. Ideally, the health concerns will be related to your own interests for the Final Policy Memo and may provide more insight into the problems at hand. The interviewee may be a family member, but not the student themselves! If you choose to interview a patient, do not violate any HIPAA policies or collect any protected health information (PHI). And if you choose to interview someone under 18, parents must be present during the interview and questions may be reworded as needed to be age appropriate for the child or parent.
Due to the nature of interviewing, the interview content may use informal phrases and be written in first or third person, at the student’s discretion. Word count of the student and interviewee responses only is expected to be 1,000-1,500, and does NOT include references, title page, or the questions provided in the template.
