Biography
Dr Bonnie Bereznicki graduated from the Tasmanian School of Pharmacy in 2002. She worked as a community pharmacist in pharmacies throughout Tasmania and Queensland, before returning to the University of Tasmania in 2007 to undertake postgraduate research degrees in pharmacy. She graduated with first class Honours in 2007, and then received an Australian Postgraduate Award to undertake her PhD, which she completed in 2011. Dr Bereznicki’s PhD research focused on using a computerised solution (data mining) within community pharmacies to identity and subsequently educate people with poorly managed asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
