1A ROLE INTRODUCTION: PUBLIC
HEALTH OFFICIAL
You are coming
to the end of a pretty busy week. In addition
to the routine restaurant inspections you
oversaw, the Department received several
phone calls from many citizens with complaints
of severe stomach pain and, in a couple
cases, bloody diarrhea. You decide to launch
an investigation to determine whether these
cases are related.
Based on
this information you:
See that it
is Friday at 1PM and decide this investigation
can wait until next week.
Are curious about whether these cases
are related, so you decide to call a meeting
with your supervisor to decide whether
to do an investigation.
Go to
your files to look at similar situations
that have taken place to see what you have
done in the past. Your plan is to investigate
this as a potential outbreak.
