With: Pammla Petrucka
PhD, MN, BSN, BSc Professor, University of Saskatchewan
As a University of Saskatchewan (USask) graduate, Dr. Petrucka is proud to be a part of the College of Nursing and the School of Public Health. Throughout her career she positioned herself as a nurse scientist with a strong commitment to nursing research excellence and innovation in health equity.
Dr. Petrucka’s program of research focuses on populations with potential (also known as marginalized or vulnerable) within the local and global contexts. This program variably includes novel/emergent methodologies, health related technologies, and engagement strategies.
Currently her research is focused on the area of Women’s Health - specifically in menstrual hygiene equity, as well as health care accessibility in developing contexts including Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia as well as amongst newcomer populations in Canada.
Additionally, Dr. Petrucka is working in Global Health with a focus on improving awareness and access to public health and One Health innovations in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, it is her work with graduate and post-graduate students on six continents that is her most valued legacy.
