As someone who has lived abroad for nearly a decade, the prospect of a secondment sending me home – back to my childhood house to live with my parents, with the possibility to reconnect with lifelong friends and rediscover the Canadian health services research landscape – was truly thrilling.

We might not be as famous as Britney (yet!) but we can confirm that indeed the cool thing about being a HealthPros Fellow is traveling… across seas, like to Canada and stuff. So, here we are, the two of us in Toronto, Canada for a semester as our first HealthPros secondment. “Two of us” are Mircha and Damir, HealthPros Fellows from the Amsterdam University Medical Centra (Amsterdam UMC) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA).
