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

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.

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.

URGENT - OHAF UPDATE REQUIRED
by Trenna Reeve 13 Feb '26

13 Feb '26

Dental hygiene and dental students, The good news is that you have all been doing a great job at using the OHAF funds to support patient care and your learning. You are making a tremendous impact on the oral health of many people within our community that otherwise would not have received care. We are now at a point where the OHAF fund is depleting rapidly, and I am no longer able to approve any further OHAF patient funding requests until we have more information. I have overcommitted the OHAF funds with the expectation that not all of the treatment would ultimately be completed. We now need to know what treatment that has been approved will not be moving forward so that we can have a clearer financial view of what monies we have remaining until 31 March. This update will help ensure that any committed funds from approved treatment can be redirected to other student requests for funding now. We need to know what treatment that has ALREADY been approved will NOT be proceeding. Please open the link below and follow the directions exactly. Time is critical as there are many students still requesting OHAF funding, review the document and update for each of your patients by Monday 16 Feb 2026 at 4pm. For those who do not update their patient profile we will assume that you no longer need the funding for your patient and suspend funding for any treatment that has not be started. General | HCFUND Tracking - Student Confirmation | Microsoft Teams<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/19%3AUXkV-RlwEXbLgM-NNM4L3tfFc8Cjr-3u…> Any questions let me know. Trenna M.
