1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

For the first interview, I plan to meet with my mentor, Andrew Kest. Andrew is the one who helped me find my topic for the senior project. He is a pharmacist, who had experienced in both close-pharmacy, which doesn't involve patients, and open-pharmacy, which includes the interaction with patients. By his experience of the topic, patient compliance, I am able to have more of his personal opinions, ideas, and answers of what he will response towards my questions.

  2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?  Ask open-ended questions.  What are open-ended questions? 

1.      Since you were originally from Egypt, was there any patient compliance occurred there and if so, how was that situation different than here in America?

2.       How do you think pharmacists can enforce patient compliance?

3.      What are some ways to tell that this particular person is a patient noncompliance or compliance?

4.      Do you think it is right for any medical officer or pharmacists to have control on those who are patients compliance? If so, then why?

5.      What do you think is the best solution to solve this patient compliance issue that the government or medical companies can help fund or support? 

Open-ended questions: questions that have an answer in a form of sentences or to have a more in depth, detail answer.
