Nicola Rosaasen’s bio
Nicola meandered through the Biology Department at the University of Saskatchewan until entering the College of Pharmacy – with a lifelong love of all things biologically quirky. After graduation in 1992, she completed a pharmacy residency and was hired as a staff pharmacist at St, Paul’s in Saskatoon. In 2002, she was offered a position at the Saskatchewan Transplant Program. At Transplant, Nicola found a professional home – a place of ongoing learning and research but best of all a place that encouraged the development of long term relationships with so many wonderful patients. She has been honoured with a number of professional awards over the years, including Canadian Society of Hospital Pharmacists (Sask Branch) 2018 Pharmacist of the Year. She is grateful for the recognition by her peers, but most honored by the willingness of her patients to give of themselves – their time and their stories to the many research and educational projects over the years.
