Interprofessional Education
1. Introduction of the reflection
This assignment will be about my thoughts and feelings relating to the interview that I have conducted with a healthcare professional. According to Boud, Keogh & Walker (1985), they defined reflection as “the context of learning as a generic term for those intellectual and affective activities in which individuals engage to explore their experiences in order to lead to new understandings and appreciations,” (as cited in Andrusyszyn & Davie, 1997, para. 4). Through this reflection, I hope to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the interview and how I could make it a learning experience for future application.
2. Reflection of the interview
2.1. Description My group, consisting of 4 pharmacy and 2 nursing students, was assigned to Professor Bobad. He researches on the ethical issues concerning biomedicine, combining his past specialization in philosophy to formulate his thoughts and writings. He was part of an advisory committee in many notable international organizations such as UNESCO and WHO to name a few. In addition, he is an editor-in-chief for his own journal publication, called Asian Bioethics Review. My group managed to get some help from his assistant to secure a meeting room for the interview. The interview questions were aimed at finding out about his roles and responsibilities, a clearer insight into bioethics with case examples and his inter-professional communication experiences. During the interview, I was tasked with note-taking alongside another pharmacy student, while there were 2 audio-visual crew manning 3 digital cameras and 1 photo camera. We delegated a nursing and a pharmacy student to conduct the interview with the intention of providing 2 different viewpoints from the questions asked as well as to provide a more focused and centred conversation.
2.2. Feelings
Before the interview started, we realised that 2 out of the 3 digital cameras had roughly 30-40 minutes worth of video recording
