1. Who do you plan to interview? What is this person's area of expertise?
I plan to interview Lillian Hernandez. She is one of Dr. Rosado's medical assistants. As a medical assistant, it's Ms. Hernandez's job to answer calls, help make appointments, prepare/give shots, and gather basic information about each patient such as height, weight, blood pressure, etc. Due to the fact that Ms. Hernandez is basically around the patients as much as Dr. Rosado, therefore, I believe she is qualified to interview.
