New Department Head, Pediatrics, Dr. Brophy
We are excited to welcome Dr. Patrick Brophy who has been appointed as the new Saskatchewan pediatric head. Dr. Brophy, a pediatric nephrologist, brings extensive clinical, research and leadership experience. A nephrologist is a physician who specializes in kidney care and treating disease of the kidneys.
Dr. Brophy attended high school and university in Regina, completed his training including a Masters degree, in the United States and has returned home after a half-decade of successful leadership in a New York children’s hospital. Dr. Brophy has served on numerous medical bodies, notably past chair of the Pediatric Academic Societies, a group of academic professional organizations and has over 150 peer-reviewed publications.
From a clinical research side, Dr. Brophy has a strong track record which has resulted in significant improvements in care management of patients requiring acute dialysis and those with acute kidney injury.
On behalf of the College of Medicine University of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA), we congratulate and welcome Dr. Brophy as our province’s new head of pediatrics.
