Interview and Leadership Geriatric Nursing Analytical Review

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and need an explanation.

 

OVERVIEW

While it is still early in your doctoral education process, it is important to start thinking about where you might complete your doctoral project and who could be your preceptor. This assignment provides an opportunity for you to evaluate a potential practicum site and a leader to serve as preceptor for your final doctoral project. Your interviewee should be in a health care leadership position with a graduate degree in a health care-related field. Ideally he or she should have a doctorate, but a master’s degree is acceptable.

This assignment has two parts:

  1. Interview a health care leader who could serve as your preceptor for your final doctoral project.
    • Summarize the interview in a 3–5 page paper.
  2. With guidance from the health care leader you interview, determine a gap, need, or opportunity that will serve as the basis for the remaining assignments in this course. It should align with a strategic priority of the organization or health care system.
    • Keep in mind this could also serve as a topic for your doctoral project. Explore the feasibility and fidelity of this with the leader, including alignment with the capstone process and timeline.
