Dr. Terence O'Keeffe
Dr. O'Keeffe's University of Arizona website provides a fair amount of insight into his professional career.
Dr. O'Keeffe is an Associate Professor of Surgery at the University, as well as a practicing trauma surgeon at the University Medical Center. He graduated from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh in Scotland in 1994, and has been a practicing surgeon for 21 years. I am planning to meet with Dr. O'Keeffe on Friday, March 4th at 12:30pm in his office in the University Medical Center.
Drafts of Interview Questions
As an author of a significant amount of publications, what percent of your time do you spend conducting research for and drafting your works?
A few of your more recent publications are relatively controversial (bike helmet rethinking, effectiveness of injury prevention programs against distracted driving), is this reflective of an affinity for argument-based writings, or are the two unrelated?
Who do you typically consider your audience to be?
What most motivates you either to initiate research for a publication or to get on board with an ongoing project?
Are scientific articles the only genre of works that you author? If not, what other mediums do you work with?
How do you typically begin your writing process once you have a topic?
What percent of your professional career have you been a co-author to publications?
Do you prefer to author your own works or collaborating with others?
Do you consider rhetoric, namely appealing to readers' emotions, logic, or by establishing credibility, when drafting your works?
