Student Reps for Course Evaluation
by Susan Petras 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

Hello Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Classes, Please find attached a list of courses and Course Coordinators which includes a listing of Student Reps (3 per course) for Student Course Evaluation. Also attached is some further information on the course evaluation process as well as a form that needs to be completed for each course. The College/School relies on student feedback to continually improve our course delivery. Please contact your Course Coordinator for any course that you have been assigned to as an evaluator (working on behalf of the entire class) and make arrangements to meet to discuss the course prior to the end of term. Spanned courses (courses that continue into Winter term) do not need evaluation until the end of Winter term. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

by Kaleigh Warden 23 Mar '26

23 Mar '26

Good morning everyone, I hope you are doing well! As part of National Dental Hygienists Week (April 4th to 10th), I am sharing the final details for our DH2 and DH3 group photo. I have been in touch with your CDHA student representatives, Jasleen and Gabriel, to coordinate this. Thank you to both of them for their help and support. Date: Wednesday, March 25th Time: 12:30pm Location: Brodie Centre Atrium (on the stairs) I know this is a busy time of year, so we will aim to take the photo right at 12:30pm. Your help in arriving on time is greatly appreciated. Instructors will also be joining us for the photo, which will be a great opportunity to capture our full program community. The national theme, led by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association, is "Put Your Purple On," so you are encouraged to wear purple. The photo will be shared with CDHA and may also be used on social media to highlight our program's participation in National Dental Hygienists Week. We will also have cake in the SDH Office afterward to celebrate. Thank you everyone, and I look forward to seeing you there.

Clinic/OHAF Update 16 Mar 2026
by Trenna Reeve 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

To all students, 1. OHAF update - the OHAF grant has been extended. What does this mean? * Any OHAF application that HAS BEEN APPROVED - you have until the end of this academic year to complete treatment - you do not need to have treatment completed by 31 March as was the case before the grant extension. You have until the end of this academic year (May 2026). * BUT - We have NOT been given any more funding, so OHAF applications that have not been approved to date will still NOT be approved. If you have submitted and OHAF application and it has NOT BEEN APPROVED I would recommend that you speak with the applicable course coordinator to see if other funding opportunities might be possible (endowment funds). 2. As we get closer to the end of the academic year be reminded that it is the student's responsibility to follow up with their patients regarding any outstanding balances on the patient account. 3. We will continue to screen patients. When the front desk is booking the screening appointments they are letting the potential patients know that they will not be assigned to a dental/dental hygiene student until the fall and thus if they have a dental emergency they must seek treatment in a private practice office until they are assigned to a student in the fall 2026. Please ensure you also discuss this with any patient that is screened and accepted. Have a great week. Trenna M.

Dispositions / urgent msgs
by Sabrina Raposo 13 Mar '26

13 Mar '26

Hello DH3 and DH2! I just wanted to send a reminder that all dispositions are to be put on hold for now. We will go over your remaining lists at clearance time. If you have sent me a disposition, I am working on them and will try to get them done as soon as possible. There has been a huge amount of dispositions in the last 24 hours, so you will see some delays. If there is anything urgent, please come to my window as I may not see your urgent msg quick enough. Have a great weekend! Sabrina

Clinic Updates 2 Mar 2026
by Trenna Reeve 01 Mar '26

01 Mar '26

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students, OHAF Update 1. Approved OHAF funding * OHAF patient funding that has ALREADY been approved can proceed. * For procedure codes that are currently approved any minor changes such as 25 DO restoration changes to 25 MOD, or NPP3 becomes an NPP4 these changes can proceed without having to be reapproved. 2. Unapproved OHAF funding * Any treatment funding requests that have not already been approved WILL NOT be approved. * If the treatment you are asking to be funded is required to meet a course requirement, please send me an email explaining your situation. I will review your request with the course coordinator and the PCCs to determine what options are available. 3. Lab codes need to be swiped to Complete on the date of delivery. * If you accidentally have the Lab code swiped Complete ahead of the delivery, submit a Correction Card ASAP. The code will be set back to In process and available for you to swipe as Complete at the delivery appointment. 4. Reception/PCCs do not make any edits to patient charts. This must be done by the provider ahead of the delivery appointment. 5. D4 Hygiene Rotation – Recall Exam Codes are not being swiped during the D4 Recall rotation. Ensure that you are completing all forms including the recall or CTP codes. * You can leave the treatment plan swiped by the instructor and not signed by the patient. * When the patient is assigned to a dental student, that new dental student must review and confirm they agree with the treatment plan and at then either have the patient accept and sign the original treatment plan or create a new treatment plan if it needs to be modified. 1. Swipes before checking out at reception – all dental and dental hygiene students must enter a treatment code and treatment notes for each clinical session. You can in-process treatment codes multiple times. Please let your instructors know that they must swipe the procedure code BEFORE you dismiss your patient. 2. Send an email to request co-assignment/transfer between years to your course coordinator with PCC and classmate cc’d to email. Include details of the transfer. For D3 and D4 students, include Dr. Reeve in your email request. 3. Grade Card/Evaluation Forms – Confirm you are being graded for the proper Discipline and on the correct Grade Form to ensure accurate grades. If you notice an error, inform your grading instructor and ask them to redo on correct form. Submit a correction card asap. Have a great week! 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>
