I am currently attending college studying "Health Policy Administration", and I was informed yesterday that I need to interview someone either in person or over the phone by Sunday. I am required to ask 15 questions about there current position in order to learn about the healthcare working environment and gain information that may help me on my career path.

If anyone works in healthcare in an administrative or policy role, or knows someone who does, I would greatly be appreciated and would be indebted to you if I could conduct an interview over the phone and ask questions similar to these:

Can you briefly describe your job position?
What are some of your daily responsibilities?
Are there any additional duties you perform infrequently?

What educational background is required to work in this environment?
Is there any training that is encouraged or provided by the organization?
What areas or topics is it helpful to be knowledgeable in to perform your duties?
What is your workplace culture like?

What are some things you enjoy about your work?
What are some things you do not enjoy about your work?
Is there anything you would like to change or additions you would like to make?

Are there other positions within the organization your experience can transfer over to?
What type of work does this position prepare you for outside of the organization?
Where could you work outside of your current organization using the skills and experience gained?

It wouldn't take longer than 15 minutes and would be a great help.

Go big! I was fighting healthcare regulations for a VA hospital 1.5 years ago, and took it to the top -- I emailed the Director of the VA. Much to my surprise, that email got me a phone call from someone at the VA hospital. You never know what might happen if you go big, but the higher you go, it does seem like the quicker you get a response, even if not directly from that person.
