'Dr. Cochrane said she was able to complete her education journey with the help and support of her community, and especially Dr. Sara Goulet. "It has made a world of difference," said Cochrane of her mentorship. "I felt other people knew what was going on and I was a little bit lost at times, I felt a lot of imposter syndrome . . . And so seeing her, just a strong Indigenous woman being amazing in medicine and holding leadership positions and being such an advocate for her ...patients, was so impactful for me."'
