Shalini Singla

In a field as specialized as pediatrics, having a mentor like Shalini makes all the difference. She consistently goes above and beyond in both her clinical practice and her mentorship.

She trained me last year, and I truly could not have asked for a better mentor. She always makes herself available for questions. No matter how small or complex the topic, she approaches every discussion with patience, depth, and encouragement. She not only provides thoughtful answers but also shares references and resources that deepen my understanding.

Shalini plays a pivotal role supporting all pharmacy staff. From a pharmacist point of view, we value her knowledge in the complex pharmacokinetics of pediatric and neonatal patients. She often supports me by helping navigate challenging clinical scenarios. Because of her guidance, I approach my clinical work with greater confidence, knowing I have her support.

In addition to her day-to-day clinical responsibilities, Shalini has taken on numerous pharmacy students and residents, investing in the development of the next generation of pharmacists. She also sits on multiple committees, frequently attending meetings and contributing her expertise to initiatives that advance our practice. This is a testament to her commitment not only to patient care today, but to the future of Royal Columbian Hospital.

Her work ethic, dedication to her patients, and unwavering willingness to help others are truly inspiring. She instills confidence in those around her and elevates the entire team through her knowledge, leadership, and generosity.

Thank you, Shalini, for all that you do — your mentorship makes a lasting impact on both your colleagues and the patients you serve.
