[Video: Alexandra interacts with the professor and students in a class and group discussion.]

Cynthia: And I think just because we’re such a large health campus. We have a lot of other disciplines that we can get involved with, especially now that we’re moving into more interprofessional education activities.

Even from students that you’re in class with. It’s kind of like a combined collaboration from every body.
