Emma Werezak is a third year PharmD student at the University of Saskatchewan. Emma knew she wanted to be involved in health care, but it wasn’t until she did a senior project on breast cancer research that she became interested in the specific drugs that were being used in treatment of breast cancer when she began to consider a career in pharmacy. Emma then enrolled in a physical pharmacy course and was hooked.
The Mitakye Owasin Award in Pharmacy is made possible by the generous donation of alumnus Jarron Yee (BSP '06). Beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, the Mitakye Owasin Award in Pharmacy is an annual award of $1,500 open to Indigenous students in the college pursuing their PharmD degree.
