The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a physical assessment of a community of interest in the student’s region, and to gather information about the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by that community. The assignment consists of an interview and a PowerPoint presentation.

For this assignment, the student will need to select a community of interest in their region. The community can be a specific neighborhood, a town or city, or even a larger geographical area. The student will then perform a physical assessment of the community, which involves gathering information about the community’s demographics, socio-economic factors, environmental factors, and any other relevant information that can impact the health of the community.

To gather information about the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by the chosen community, the student will need to conduct an interview. The interview can take place in-person, by phone, or by Skype, depending on what is most convenient for both the student and the provider. The student will need to develop interview questions that will help them gather the necessary information.

Before conducting the interview, the student must complete the “Provider Interview Acknowledgement Form” and submit it separately in its respective drop box. This form is necessary to document the student’s acknowledgement and consent to conduct the interview.

During the interview, the student should ask the provider about their role in the community. This includes asking about the specific services they provide, any programs they participate in, and any collaborations they have with other providers or organizations in the community. The student should also ask the provider about the health issues faced by the community. This can include asking about the prevalence of chronic diseases, the availability of healthcare services, the impact of socio-economic factors on health, and any other factors that may affect the health of the community.

After conducting the interview, the student should compile the key findings from the interview, including the interview questions used. These findings should be submitted along with the PowerPoint presentation.

The PowerPoint presentation should consist of 15-20 slides, excluding the title and references slides. The presentation should describe the chosen community of interest, including information about its demographics, socio-economic factors, environmental factors, and any other relevant information. The presentation should also include the key findings from the interview, highlighting the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by the community.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, the student should follow solid academic writing practices, and should document any sources used in the presentation using APA formatting guidelines.

In conclusion, this assignment requires the student to perform a physical assessment of a community of interest and to gather information about the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by that community. This is done through an interview and a PowerPoint presentation. The student will need to select a community, develop interview questions, conduct the interview, compile the findings, and create the presentation.
