collar shape I thought but I’m not an
00:15
emerging future I mean I might be kind
00:17
of good at what I do but emerging leader
00:20
that’s a lot being that an emergent
00:27
leader it means there’s some potential
00:29
in some capacity of doing things that

have never been done before
00:34
we always think I am doing this for my
00:38
patients I’m doing this for my

American and Canadian this program offer
01:17
us all the facilities to stay here to do
01:21
our research is the top level and the
01:25
people there actually want to help me to
01:29
learn they’re not just focusing on
01:32
getting people so immense they’re
01:35
focusing on not having immigrants
01:37
isolated but to make them feel like they
01:40
really have a community it’s a great
01:42
experience for personal growth for
01:45
academic growth for professional growth

01:58
chance to go to Ottawa for a week and
02:00
it’s I would say like that will be as we
