CHAPTER 7
THE INTERNIST
The fourth research participant, also representing the medical school at the health science
center being studied, said yes to my group e-mail request to participate in this study. I had never
met the Internist prior to his participation in this study. The only knowledge I had of him was a
class photograph I discovered at the health science center.
The Internist was one of seven Latino graduates from the medical school during the
2004-2005 academic year at the health science center being studied. Because the Internist was

process; therefore, some of the interviews were postponed or interrupted and picked up at a later
date. The Internist consented to four interviews. All interviews took place during a 2-week time
period via telephone. Three of the four interviews took place after 10 p.m. when the Internist's
wife and son had gone to sleep. One interview took place on the Internist's day off with his wife
and son coming in and out of the room during the interview. All interviews took place at his
home. The first interview lasted 1.5 hours and resulted in a transcript that was 10 pages long. The
second interview lasted 2 hours and resulted in a transcript 23 pages long. The Internist's wife
joined him during the interview. The third interview lasted 45 minutes and resulted in a transcript
6 pages long. The Internist's wife and son came in and out of the room during the interview
session. The fourth interview took place over 2 consecutive days and lasted a total of 45 minutes
resulting in a transcript 7 pages long.
The other three participants determined the order of the interview sessions based on the
importance they gave to the influences. The Internist determined the first interview session; he132
