With a career spanning over 18 years at the Ottawa Hospital, she has held numerous leadership roles, including UGME Director and Vice-Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 2019, she relocated to Saskatoon, where she opened Saskatchewan’s tumor bank and initiated a clinical trials program in gynecologic oncology. Dr. Hopkins's research is primarily focused on precision oncology, the design of pragmatic trials, and the promotion of informed patient decision-making. Recently, she received funding to acquire a generation sequencer to support an investigator-initiated trial exploring the use of molecular tumor testing in guiding treatment decisions for ovarian cancer patients. This trial aims to provide real-world evidence regarding patient preferences and outcomes, potentially setting a new standard of care for tumor testing in ovarian cancer. Dr. Hopkins's work emphasizes surgical quality, safety, and equitable access to care.
