All the other social issues that our patients face is like a patient needs an X-ray, where do they go to get an X-ray if they don't have insurance? And where students get involved with that, They get to understand all the struggles, the student, the patient doesn't have food at home. You know, how do we get them connected with the food pantry? They learn all of that, what they are here and they learn it together with the nurses and the PT's like Chewy was saying, so is that full circle? And I. It's it's a big goal of of us to infuse that that experience on our students. So when they leave, when they graduate, they can take that with them to the community and they're already more comfortable as soon as they start at the clinics or the hospitals or in place they go. They have been working with real patients with real experiences and real challenges and they are very comfortable in that environment especially during their clinics you know and their. Their overall experiences.
