This is the second interviewing resource in the Food Safety CoE Epidemiology Tier 1 Core Curriculum.
This 30-minute video guides learners through the central and essential rules of foodborne disease interviews. After learning about the 10 cardinal rules, learners will observe examples of different interview scenarios giving you the opportunity to note what went well and where improvements can be made.
This is video complements the Three Effective Phases of Interviewing well as it builds on to those lessons through application of skills.
Additional Product Use
This video has a 30-minute full length version and a 9-minute version only highlighting the 10 Cardinal Rules. The 9-minute version is a great option to add or embed into program specific trainings/presentations where an outline of interview best practices is needed.
Disclaimer: We recommend new staff that have little to no experience with disease interviewing watch these video resources in conjunction with mock interview training.
