I’ve corrected it below. Mary, Could you please forward this email to any cohorts of students in your college who don’t have classes/clinical May 2-11? Applications are open for Interprofessional community engagement with an Indigenous community (Amazon) <https://umanitoba.ca/health-sciences/student-experience/interprofessional-c…> Dates: May 2-11, 2025 Number of students accepted: 10–16 Apply by: January 6th, 2025 To apply: https://forms.office.com/r/8Xf84vMQKd This Community Engaged Learning (Amazon) opportunity is a collaboration between the Office of Interprofessional Collaboration in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences and the Amupakin Collective—a group of Kichwa health practitioners who work to keep alive the knowledge of their land, culture and traditions. In this program, students will participate in an immersive interprofessional learning opportunity within the Amupakin collective, who hold traditional knowledge that has been handed down for generations. The primary goals of this learning opportunity are to: • Recognize the impact of the history of colonization and current policies on the health of Indigenous peoples (in both global and local contexts). • Recognize the importance of cultural safety in providing health care within Indigenous communities.  • Affirm students' ethical obligation to band together with interprofessional colleagues to provide culturally safe care for marginalized populations. • Appreciate how Indigenous ways of knowing and being can and should be integrated into our health and education systems.  About Amupakin: Amupakin has been providing free traditional healthcare and midwifery services for their communities for many years. Despite their long history as trusted health providers in their community, they are still struggling to be recognized by the public health system of Ecuador. Some of their current struggles include fighting against the government’s efforts to discourage people from seeking traditional healthcare and the compulsory “training and certification” of Indigenous midwives—who have been practicing midwifery since childhood by assisting their mothers and grandmothers who in turned learned midwifery from their mothers and grandmothers. Program Fees: The program is 100% not for profit. The all-inclusive fee of $2500 covers return airfare, all in-country transportation and accommodations, three daily meals, pre-departure training, and a financial contribution to Amupakin to support their goals. Next steps after applying: Once you’ve applied, Lisa Mendez will be in touch with you via email to confirm receipt of your application, discuss/confirm your availability, and to answer any questions. If there are more applicants than spaces, you may be required to complete a virtual mini-interview. About the coordinator: Lisa Mendez is the Collaborative Healthcare Practice Lead in the Office of Interprofessional Collaboration and an instructor in the Department of Occupational Therapy. She first met the mamas of Amupakin in 2019 through the relationship that was built through the UM Community Engaged Learning program. She coordinated two trips in 2024 for 21 Rady students from 6 professional programs. She is currently planning a trip for Rady students in February 2025. She also coordinates the Ndinawemaaganag program, a community engaged learning opportunity within First Nation communities in Manitoba.

DH2 Student Voice Mailbox Numbers
by Debra Thiessen 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Hello DH2 Students, I am happy to inform you that you have been assigned a student voice mailbox number. All the instructions are in the Student Clinic Manual, but I have also attached them to this email for quick reference. The last page of the instructions is for you to sign & return to me by next week Wednesday, December 11, 2024. I encourage all of you to set up your voicemail message & test it with a classmate to make sure everything is working before winter break. Use of the student mailbox messaging system is mandatory for all students at the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry. This is the system that patients are to use when contacting students. Here is a brief outline of how the Student Voice Mailbox works: * At your first appointment with your patient, give them the instructions of the Student Voice Mailbox & your 4 digit mailbox number * Patients who need to speak with you regarding an upcoming appointment or treatment are to call 204-480-1339 * The voice mail system will ask the patient to enter the students 4 digit number * After the patient has entered your 4 digit number, they will be prompted to leave a voice message for you * You will then receive a notification that you have a voice message waiting for you Please follow the instructions for setting up your voicemail including entering an updated password and a personal voice message from yourself. Feel free to come see me or send me a message if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Debra Thiessen [Image preview] Debra Thiessen Clinical Support Services Administrative Assistant Dr Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences D126 - 780 Bannatyne Ave Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 Office: 204-977-5616 Fax: 204-789-3950 Email: debra.thiessen(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:debra.thiessen@umanitoba.ca> Website: https://umanitoba.ca/dentistry/ Please be advised that this email may contain confidential information.
