Cultural Interview
The purpose of this paper is to discuss an interview which took place with a person of a different culture who has lived in the United States for a period of five years or less. The idea behind the interview was to gain a deeper understanding of that person’s culture as well as their religious beliefs, health, political views, family, and way of communicating.
My interview took place at the hospital where I currently work, in a break room after the end of my shift with P.O., a physician who joined our organization in July of 2012. P.O. comes to our facility after completing a three year pediatric residency in Chicago. Prior to his pediatric residency, P.O. lived in Haiti where he also completed a five year surgical residency, at State University of Haiti Hospital, Port-au-Prince.
Culturally unique individual: My interview began after a brief conversation with P.O. to discuss with him the details of the assignment and to answer any questions he might have regarding the interview. I emailed P.O. earlier in the week to confirm our meeting place and time, and wanted to make sure he was clear on the purpose of the interview, since all of our prior
