The experiences are all directed by the community partners to provide opportunities for students to learn about their community, its people, and health and well-being. Some of the experiences are anchored in a Sundance ceremony, while others include opportunities to spend time in their nursing stations and health centres. All experiences include land based experiences. Some experiences involve camping with the community while in others, students will stay in cabins on the water (and in some you'll do both!). All communities have road access, however in some scenarios students may fly. All expenses (travel, food, accommodations, ceremonial contributions etc) are covered by the RBC Experiential Learning Travel Fund. Sundances:<https://news.umanitoba.ca/sundances-offer-students-crash-course-in-culture/> For the various sundances, we play important helper roles (picking/preparing medicines, cutting trees, building the lodge, helping the kitchen staff with communal meals, assisting with cleanup). In most cases we camp with the community, however there is an option to commute to the Blacksmith Sundance (near Spruce Woods) or stay in a hotel in The Pas for the Opaskwayak. Ideally students will be available from early Friday morning to help build with lodge and then Saturday and Sunday to support/observe/participate in other ceremonies within the sundance. * Blacksmith Sundance (Spruce Woods): June 12–15 * Opaskwayak Sundance (OCN/The Pas): July 3–6 * Shallow Bay Sundance (Grand Rapids): July 10–13 * Sakitowin Sundance (Cross Lake/Pimicikamak): August 14–17 Longer community experiences: There are communities offering one or two-week opportunities: Norway House: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend time in the newly built Health Centre of Excellence, in community programing, and in land-based experiences. Expect to spend time on and around the water and to be in ceremony. Students will be in community for the Indigenous Peoples day. Accommodations are a cabin on the water. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available. Grand Rapids: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend the first week at the nursing station and with the community health programs. The weekend will spent at the Shallow Bay sundance. Week two is scheduled based on opportunities available and student preference (may involve the nursing station, a land based camp, treaty days etc). Accommodations are a cabin on the water during the week and camping on the weekend. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available. Tobacco camp (SERDC)<https://serdc.mb.ca/health/commercial-tobacco-reduction-strategy> in the Whiteshell: Students will be helpers at a camp for youth where the focus is to provide smoking cessation strategies, teachings re: traditional uses of tobacco/cultural practices, and harm reduction/health promotion strategies. Youth come from the communities in the South East Region to Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell; students will stay in cabins. * Norway House: June 16-27 * Grand Rapids: July 7–18, 2025 * Tobacco Camp: August 11-15 Why is this being offered? The RFHS is committed to offering interprofessional education to enhance the provision of integrated care, and is dedicated to actively building and enhancing partnerships to contribute to the communities it serves, including Indigenous Health partnerships, for collaborative care. What costs will be covered? Costs for students’ travel, food and accommodations will be covered by the RBC Health Sciences Student Travel Initiative. What is the deadline to apply? The first deadline to apply will be Monday April 7th at which point Lisa will begin confirming matches. The application will continue to stay open as long as spaces remain for students. Where will students stay? How will they get there? Depending on the experience, students will either stay in the professional accommodations at the health centre, a hotel, or a cabin in the area. If attending a sundance it is likely you will camp with the community. Camping equipment is available if needed. Students will either fly or drive to the experience; carpooling will occur where possible. Will students receive credit for this experience? In most cases these experiences do not contribute to a specific course, however can contribute to your U of M Experiential Record. For UGME students, the equivalent of a 2-week experience is approved as an “Early Exposure”. Students who complete this interprofessional practice experience will also receive a certificate of participation upon request. Who can apply? Students enrolled in the health profession programs in any of the five Colleges of the RFHS who have completed at least one term of their program are eligible are prioritized. If space permits, students from other programs outside of Rady may be considered. Where can I get more information? General questions about this opportunity can be directed to the RFHS Collaborative Healthcare Practice Lead Lisa.Mendez(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lisa.Mendez@umanitoba.ca>. Updates will be posted here: https://umanitoba.ca/health-sciences/student-experience/interprofessional-c… Quotes from previous students: It was amazing to see how significant the ceremony was for the people and their connection to the land. With each ceremony done, there were many lessons to be learned, but one important lesson was how well the non-pharmacological intervention assisted the Indigenous people in healing and coping with their grief. These ceremonies were beautiful and moving, and I felt honored to be a part of them. The value of such spiritual practice was clear to me and helped show me that there is a great need for our society to support people to look after their own and their community’s spiritual wellbeing. This weekend was one of the most memorable experiences I have had throughout my time at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. There were many powerful learnings that I would have never experienced inside a classroom nor reading through books. It was evident to me that a sense of belonging in community, language, culture and traditions have a huge role to play in healing. If you are considering this experience but are on the fence, just go for it… this experience has been one of the most valuable to me as a person and professional, as it has given me insight into Indigenous culture, health care in the North, and interprofessional practice that I could not have gotten anywhere else.

Final Grades Reporting & SDH Progression Rules
by Mary Bertone 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hello Class of 2025 & 2026 Please review the updated Final Grades Reporting Procedure and the SDH Progression rules. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Good luck on your exams! SDH Final Grades Reporting (2025): Final Grade Notification: Final grades will be posted in Aurora after all grading activities (no final exam grades will posted) are completed. Please allow 3 weeks for the final grades to be processed. Incomplete Grades: An “Incomplete” grade may be assigned if a student cannot complete course requirements due to extenuating circumstances as approved by the School of Dental Hygiene Director. The School of Dental Hygiene (SDH) Progression Policies: In years DH 2 and DH3 the lowest acceptable grade is a “D” if the course is being taken for the first time (see below for a minimum requirement of repeated courses). A minimum sessional grade point average of 2.0 in years DH 2 and DH 3 of the program is required to qualify a student for standing in that year. A student in years DH 2 and DH 3 who fails to obtain a minimum sessional grade point average of 2.0 and who is not granted supplemental privileges will be considered to have failed the year. Except by special permission of Dental College Council, no student in years DH 2 and DH 3 may repeat more than one year of the program, nor may any single year be repeated more than once. The work requirements of any repeated dental hygiene course year may be modified at the discretion of the Dental College Council. The passing grade in each course of a repeated year in Dental Hygiene is “C”. A student in DH 2 or DH 3 who has obtained a grade of "F" in more than two subjects or who fails to obtain a sessional G.P.A. of 2.0 will be regarded as having failed the year and will be required to repeat the work of that year in a succeeding annual session.

All experiences include land based experiences. Some experiences involve camping with the community while in others, students will stay in cabins on the water (and in some you'll do both!). All communities have road access, however in some scenarios students may fly. All expenses (travel, food, accommodations, ceremonial contributions etc) are covered by the RBC Experiential Learning Travel Fund. Sundances:<https://news.umanitoba.ca/sundances-offer-students-crash-course-in-culture/> For the various sundances, we play important helper roles (picking/preparing medicines, cutting trees, building the lodge, helping the kitchen staff with communal meals, assisting with cleanup). In most cases we camp with the community, however there is an option to commute to the Blacksmith Sundance (near Spruce Woods) or stay in a hotel in The Pas for the Opaskwayak. Ideally students will be available from early Friday morning to help build with lodge and then Saturday and Sunday to support/observe/participate in other ceremonies within the sundance. * Blacksmith Sundance (Spruce Woods): June 12-15 * Opaskwayak Sundance (OCN/The Pas): July 3-6 * Shallow Bay Sundance (Grand Rapids): July 10-13 * Sakitowin Sundance (Cross Lake/Pimicikamak): August 14-17 Longer community experiences: There are communities offering one or two-week opportunities: Norway House: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend time in the newly built Health Centre of Excellence, in community programing, and in land-based experiences. Expect to spend time on and around the water and to be in ceremony. Students will be in community for the Indigenous Peoples day. Accommodations are a cabin on the water. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available. Grand Rapids: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend the first week at the nursing station and with the community health programs. The weekend will spent at the Shallow Bay sundance. Week two is scheduled based on opportunities available and student preference (may involve the nursing station, a land based camp, treaty days etc). Accommodations are a cabin on the water during the week and camping on the weekend. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available. Tobacco camp (SERDC)<https://serdc.mb.ca/health/commercial-tobacco-reduction-strategy> in the Whiteshell: Students will be helpers at a camp for youth where the focus is to provide smoking cessation strategies, teachings re: traditional uses of tobacco/cultural practices, and harm reduction/health promotion strategies. Youth come from the communities in the South East Region to Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell; students will stay in cabins. * Norway House: June 16-27 * Grand Rapids: July 7-18, 2025 * Tobacco Camp: August 11-15 Why is this being offered? The RFHS is committed to offering interprofessional education to enhance the provision of integrated care, and is dedicated to actively building and enhancing partnerships to contribute to the communities it serves, including Indigenous Health partnerships, for collaborative care. What costs will be covered? Costs for students' travel, food and accommodations will be covered by the RBC Health Sciences Student Travel Initiative. What is the deadline to apply? The first deadline to apply will be Monday April 7th at which point Lisa will begin confirming matches. The application will continue to stay open as long as spaces remain for students. Where will students stay? How will they get there? Depending on the experience, students will either stay in the professional accommodations at the health centre, a hotel, or a cabin in the area. If attending a sundance it is likely you will camp with the community. Camping equipment is available if needed. Students will either fly or drive to the experience; carpooling will occur where possible. Will students receive credit for this experience? In most cases these experiences do not contribute to a specific course, however can contribute to your U of M Experiential Record. For UGME students, the equivalent of a 2-week experience is approved as an "Early Exposure". Students who complete this interprofessional practice experience will also receive a certificate of participation upon request. Who can apply? Students enrolled in the health profession programs in any of the five Colleges of the RFHS who have completed at least one term of their program are eligible are prioritized. If space permits, students from other programs outside of Rady may be considered. Where can I get more information? General questions about this opportunity can be directed to the RFHS Collaborative Healthcare Practice Lead Lisa.Mendez(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lisa.Mendez@umanitoba.ca>. Updates will be posted here: https://umanitoba.ca/health-sciences/student-experience/interprofessional-c… Quotes from previous students: It was amazing to see how significant the ceremony was for the people and their connection to the land. With each ceremony done, there were many lessons to be learned, but one important lesson was how well the non-pharmacological intervention assisted the Indigenous people in healing and coping with their grief. These ceremonies were beautiful and moving, and I felt honored to be a part of them. The value of such spiritual practice was clear to me and helped show me that there is a great need for our society to support people to look after their own and their community's spiritual wellbeing. This weekend was one of the most memorable experiences I have had throughout my time at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. There were many powerful learnings that I would have never experienced inside a classroom nor reading through books. It was evident to me that a sense of belonging in community, language, culture and traditions have a huge role to play in healing. If you are considering this experience but are on the fence, just go for it... this experience has been one of the most valuable to me as a person and professional, as it has given me insight into Indigenous culture, health care in the North, and interprofessional practice that I could not have gotten anywhere else.

Clinical Update
by Trenna Reeve 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Students, As we are quickly approaching the end of the clinical sessions for this term there are a few things that need your attention: 1. As screenings continue, please let potential patients know that we are coming to the end of the academic year, and they will not be assigned to a student for a treatment plan and treatment until the fall. If they have any urgent concerns, they will need to seek care in private practice until we begin clinics in September 2025. 2. Make sure you complete ALL items in the screening form. Without this information the front desk is unable to determine what student level to assign the patient to. Also DO NOT list all student groups to assign the patient to, PICK ONE. If the patient has mainly D3 needs and perhaps a molar endo then ASSIGN D3. If you list assign D2, D3, or D4 you can see this defeats the main purpose of screening. Remember it is you as students who are selecting your patient pool, pick wisely and help decide which learning level the patient is overall best suited for. 3. Start reviewing your patient records to ensure you have all forms properly completed and swiped where required in preparation for clearances. 4. Correction cards need to be signed by the instructor who swiped you on the session when the error was made. Please minimize errors, correcting incorrect entries in axium is very time consuming for all. 5. Late submissions to the MDR are being tracked. Please review the Clinical Manual to refresh yourself on the consequences of late MDR equipment hand-in. 6. Make sure you have all procedure codes swiped by your instructor BEFORE you bring your patient to the front desk. If you do not have all codes and forms properly swiped by your instructor the front desk staff will ask that you and your patient return to the clinic to complete this. 7. Continue to work together, stay focused on learning and providing your patients with outstanding compassionate dental care. Trenna M.

Dispositions/ Pt requests
by Sabrina Raposo 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Hello DH2, I wanted to send a quick update regarding patient dispositions and new patient requests. Moving forward, I'm okay with not using the forms on Axium for these tasks. Instead, you can send me a message on Axium for both dispositions and new patient requests. Please make sure to send a separate message for each patient to both me and Marta, along with a brief explanation of why the patient is being dispositioned. Before submitting a disposition request, please ensure that all contact notes-including text message conversations-are properly documented. As per COD policies, if there are fewer than three documented attempts to contact the patient, spaced out by at least one week, we will need to wait before proceeding with the disposition. If a patient has explicitly stated they no longer wish to come to the school, please document this in the chart and notify both me and Marta. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or stop by for clarification. Thank you and have a great week! Sabrina

Providing Care to Family and Friends Memo
by Mary Bertone 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Attention Dental Hygiene Class of 2025 & 2026 I want to address an important issue regarding patient care and maintaining professional boundaries, particularly concerning providing care to friends and family outside our clinic setting. Providing care to friends and family is a privilege. While offering dental assistance or evaluations to people we know may be tempting, it is crucial to remember that until someone officially becomes a patient or is currently a patient of our college’s clinic, offering care outside the established professional framework is inappropriate and unethical. As oral health professionals in training, we must uphold the highest standards of practice in the clinic and in our personal lives. Please avoid offering care to patients who are not officially enrolled or current patients at the school clinic outside the dental college. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

Hello DH 2, On Friday, January 24th, you have an in-person interprofessional education (IPE) activity from 3-5 pm. The session takes place on the Bannatyne campus.

08 Jan '25

Good afternoon DH2, Happy New Year! I hope you are all doing well and easing into the Winter term nicely. I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow for our first HYGN 1292: Pre-Clinical Restorative Techniques for Dental Hygienists class. Our class tomorrow will run from 9:00am-12:50pm in Hart Lab. Don't worry, we will take a couple of breaks in there as well. In preparation for tomorrow's session, please dress in standard laboratory attire (scrubs, hair tied back, etc.) and bring your loupes, and metal jaw (the one you used in pre-clinical to attach the dentoform to the station head). Have a great afternoon and see you all tomorrow!

Welcome back to Term 2, 2025
by Trenna Reeve 05 Jan '25

05 Jan '25

All Students, Welcome back, I hope you all had a great holiday and enjoyed a bit of a break from the college. As we get back into clinic, I would implore you all to refresh your mind on clinic protocols and remember the requirements for the pre-clinical and senior labs to be kept clean. Points to remember as we go into the next term: 1. There was a localized flood in a few of the quiet room operatories over the break resulting in some damage. The quiet rooms have been cordoned off and additional dental chairs within the Main Clinic have been opened to accommodate. 2. The operatories that can now accept the Emerald S scanner are units 37, 36 and 16. 3. The Primescan is not yet functional so if you need to switch operatories to use the Emerald S scanners please let Katalina Munoz know. 4. For D3 students on scanning rotation you must use the Emerald S scanners even if the Primescan is functioning. 5. Ensure you are checking in and out your patients in axium. 6. D3 and D4 patients with treatment that is suitable for D2 students have been assigned to the D2 patient pool, you will see this in axium. Hold off on treatment that is D2 level care. Talk to your PCC if you have questions. 7. Hygiene Recall Rotation: remember to send out a general referral for undergrad student assignment and to have the interprofessional note completed at the session. A number of referrals have been missed. 8. We are still waiting for many of the CDCP pre-authorizations to be returned. Your PCC should be sending you an axium email to let you know if treatment has been approved. A significant number of pre-authorizations have be denied, you may need to start having discussions with your patients as to what treatment they would like to proceed with due to the denial of coverage by CDCP. 9. If a procedure code is changed you must update the treatment plan. Copy and paste the entire treatment plan, make the corrections and then deactivate the old treatment plan. 10. D2, D3, and D4 students remember to add the planned treatment you anticipate doing at the appointment when booking patients. This is essential to instructor assignment and for the clinic mapping. 11. Make sure you are flushing your lines appropriately at each session. Take care and have a great 2025. Dr. Reeve Trenna M. Reeve DMD, ABGD Assistant Professor Associate Dean (Clinics) Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba [1578502983199] Clinical Support Services D227-A-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 email: Trenna.Reeve(a)umanitoba.ca Tel: 1-204-272-3194<tel:1-204-272-3194>

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.

Adjusting Tomorrow's Perio I Quiz Time
by Kaleigh Warden 19 Nov '24

19 Nov '24

Good morning DH2, It looks like Winter is officially arriving in Winnipeg, with a significant storm expected overnight. With our Perio I quiz scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:00 am, I understand that several of you - especially those commuting from outside or across the city - might be feeling a bit anxious about the drive. I come from the South end of the city so I share in some of your concerns. To help reduce some of the stress, I'd like to propose adjusting the quiz start time to 9:30 am. We could begin class with the scheduled lectures and then end with the quiz. This would give everyone a little extra time to arrive safely without worrying about missing the quiz due to weather-related delays. Please discuss this as a class and let me know your collective decision. Mark, as Class President, if you could let me know what your class has decided, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
