Dear Students,
I hope you are doing well. I have returned to work after an unplanned personal absence. Thank you for your patience and understanding while I was away. I am happy to be back, and I am delighted to inform you that Katrina is now with the MAHN program full-time as the Preceptor Liaison Dietitian. Katrina's primary role will be placement planning and preceptor support. Your course instructors and I will remain your primary contacts within the program and please be sure to include MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> in all communications to me.
Please see below for important updates and reminders for this week.
* There have been some updates to placement and preceptors due to changes in preceptor availability. Please be sure to access the "live" version of your placement schedule in Typhon before contacting your next preceptors.
* By Friday December 22, send a professional, introductory e-mail to your preceptors for your January placement. Some preceptors will be away over the holidays and will appreciate receiving this e-mail before they are away. Include all preceptors on your precepting team on your e-mail. Contact mahn.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:mahn.info@umanitoba.ca> if you require e-mails for any of your preceptors.
* Complete an evaluation of your second placement. This is due January 8 and is a required assignment for the program. You will access this evaluation in UM learn under the "surveys" tab. You will be completing the same evaluation that you submitted for the first placement, this will allow us to collate results from all placements. It is the only survey you will see under the survey tab. There will be no extensions granted for submitting the evaluation and you are responsible for monitoring this due date.
* Complete pre-placement readings and quizzes for placement 3 by the due date stipulated in UM Learn.
* Reminder: This is an intense program; you are expected to monitor due dates and plan your tasks accordingly. Extensions will not be granted for practicum assignments and quizzes.
* The WRHA has updated their social media policy. Please review the updated policy (attached). You are expected to abide by this policy when in placement in WRHA sites. You must also adhere to CDM and University of Manitoba social media policies throughout the program.
Thanks,
Jessica

4. 5 copies of Abridged Nutrition Care Process Terminology (NCPT)
You have the option to select any manual from the manuals available at W575 Duff Roblin Building between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. Please send an email before your desired pick-up date, as it operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each student is allowed to borrow only one manual at a time. For those in rural placements, the manuals must be returned within 6 weeks of being borrowed, for those within the city, the manuals must be returned within 3 weeks of being borrowed. Please note that many preceptors possess a pocket guide version of the NCPT, consider reaching out to your preceptor to inquire about borrowing the manual from them first. "
