National Dental Hygienists Week - SDH Photo
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.

Hello DH2 and DH3, I just wanted to send a friendly reminder, as I am still receiving dispositions. At this point, clearance sheets have already been created, so no further dispositions should be submitted. If you are assigned or transferred a patient, please ensure they are added to your clearance sheet accordingly. Thank you, Sabrina

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.

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

by Trenna Reeve 02 Mar '26

02 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.

FW: UML announcement post
by Susan Petras 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Hello D3, D4 and DH2 & DH3, Please see the following announcement from Professor Laura MacDonald, regarding an IPE pilot project. This announcement has been placed in all your GS courses on UM Learn, but as I know you do not always go into that course, I thought I would send this along as well. Please let Professor MacDonald know if you have any questions. Susan Petras Connect with Health Profession Students to Explore Oral Health-Health As a health profession student we invite you to participate in a pilot of a novel initiative titled: Team-Based Collaborative Experiential Learning (TBCEL): From Head to Toes The initiative offers a unique opportunity to engage in team-based learning with students from other health disciplines and patients, focusing on the integration of oral and overall health. Though oral health is integral to overall health, it is often underrepresented in non-oral health professional education. This pilot offers you the opportunity to explore the relationship in a collaborative manner with fellow health profession students in an experiential learning practice setting. We hope you join us and help interprofessional education planners gain insights into future opportunities promoting wholistic healthcare. A short information session about the pilot will be held on Monday, Feb 23, 12:15-12:45 PM in Merkley. If you're unable to attend but are interested in participating, please contact the TBCEL pilot investigators at Dr. Laura MacDonald at Laura.MacDonald(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca>, Dr. Gayle Halas at Gayle.Halas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Gayle.Halas@umanitoba.ca>, or Dr. Moni Fricke at Moni-Fricke(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Moni-Fricke@umanitoba.ca> The commitment involves participation in the following: · Team orientation session (via UM Zoom, less than 30 minutes, during a noon hour). · Two in-person team meetings with two of your patients (at different times) in the dental clinic of the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry (during a noon hour; about 60 minutes, includes a team debrief). These will take place between February and end of March/early April. · Team Focus Group (via UM Zoom during a noon hour; no more than 80 minutes). This will take place after the second patient meeting and before the end of April/beginning of May. The TBCEL is an opportunity to volunteer in helping develop quality interprofessional education sessions for the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences students. Additionally, those who maintain portfolios, it is an opportunity to reflect on a novel interprofessional collaboration experience. The TBCEL pilot has been reviewed and approved (HE2025-0361) by the Human Ethics Research Board, University of Manitoba. Many thanks for your consideration, Dr. Laura MacDonald, PhD, RDH Laura MacDonald, RDH, PhD (she/her) School of Dental Hygiene Associate Professor Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry & School of Dental Hygiene<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/health_sciences/dentistry/index.html> 780 Bannatyne Ave., and College Lead, Office of Interprofessional Collaboration<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/health_sciences/education/ipc/about_ipc.html> Rady Faculty Health Sciences [cid:image001.png@01DC9755.401EFFE0] University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 Laura.MacDonald(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca> I acknowledge that the University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.
