Mina Tadrous

Biography:

MINA TADROUS is a licensed pharmacist and pharmacoepidemiologist and an Assistant Professor at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Toronto. He also has research appointments at Women’s College Hospital, ICES and the Ontario Drug Policy Research Network.

At the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, Tadrous leads research in the Faculty’s clinical, social and administrative pharmaceutical sciences division, using real-world evidence to improve how medications are used.

Tadrous’ research focus on two main areas of interest: post-marketing real-world evidence of medications’ utilization and pharmaceutical policy. He is keenly interested in using and developing advanced pharmacoepidemiologic methods to study the safety, effectiveness, and utilization of drugs to inform clinical practice and policy.

As a teacher, mentor and preceptor, Tadrous has two main goals: (i) giving his students opportunities to practice making evidence-based decisions and (ii) exposing them to non-traditional pharmacy career paths and opportunities. Students have selected him for two teaching awards: a Professor of the Year Award in 2018, and an APPE Preceptor of the Year Award in 2021.

In addition to research and teaching, Tadrous supports policy-makers by using large data sets to answer questions about medication safety and effectiveness. This outreach has helped inform policies that improve access to critical medications, including chronic hepatitis B therapeutics.

In turn, this outreach has earned Tadrous a reputation as a respected teacher and mentor.
