Student Reps for Course Evaluation
by Susan Petras 20 Nov '25

20 Nov '25

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. Susan Susan Petras Student Affairs Coordinator Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry University of Manitoba D113 - 780 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 [http://umanitoba.ca/admin/mco/brand/download/UM_Logo_HORZ.jpg] (204) 789-3484 Susan.Petras(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Susan.Petras@umanitoba.ca>

by Rady Communications 19 Nov '25

19 Nov '25

Holiday Hampers for Students With the holiday season quickly approaching, the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Family Centre is putting together holiday hampers to support students with small children who could use a little extra help this holiday season. The holiday hampers will include items such as formula, diapers/pull-ups, and small age-appropriate toy. If you are a student in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences (all colleges and programs included) and are interested in receiving a basket, please complete an application by November 28, 2025 using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/8na6yvtfL8 or scan this QR code: [https://mcusercontent.com/8626e7f5e712215d46b4f2fc9/images/c2dc0e33-4fad-8c…] You will receive an email with additional information including basket pick-up arrangements. This program is graciously funded 100% by donations from fellow RFHS learners, staff and faculty. * The toys provided are typically gender neutral, unless otherwise indicated in the application and encourage family time such as board games, puzzles, lego, craft kits. Additionally, Student Services Bannatyne Campus facilitates UM Food Bank access for all Bannatyne Campus (RFHS and any other learners completing programs here) as well as William Norie (Inner-City Social Worker program). SSBC collaborates with UM Food Bank to request food bank hampers that are delivered directly to SSBC office for learners to pick-up – this ensures more accessible access outside of visiting the Fort Garry Campus and primary UM Food Bank location. We ask that learners please contact SSBC office: bcss(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:bcss@umanitoba.ca> to request a hamper and learn additional details. Learners are certainly able to contact UM Food Bank and/or Financial Aid & Awards directly as well.

Clinic Update - 17 Nov 2025
by Trenna Reeve 16 Nov '25

16 Nov '25

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students: Please review with following updates and reminders: 1. Axium * if you plan an incorrect treatment then you need to copy the treatment plan in its entirety, make the necessary edits/corrections, delete the old treatment plan and have it signed for by the patient. 2. Pre-authorizations * Send an email on OUTLOOK (not axiUm) to your PCC with all information regarding the treatment you need to pre-authorize. * Students must familiarize themselves with the eligibility criteria set out by CDCP, prior to sending a pre-authorization request to your PCC. Requesting pre-authorizations for patients who do not meet the criteria causes delay in treatment and increases the timeline of all submissions. * View Criteria here: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan/guide.ht… * Students must indicate if the Crown/Denture is an initial placement. If not initial, you must indicate approximately how many years ago the existing was placed. You must provide this information to your PCC/Insurance Coordinator to avoid delaying your pre-authorization. * If you have been notified by a PCC/Insurance Coordinator of any missing information required for pre-authorization, update the PCC/Insurance Coordinator once that information has been obtained (ie: perio chart, x-ray etc) to ensure your pre-authorization is submitted in a timely manner. 3. Patient check-in/Patient check-out * Before checking out your patient at the front desk, ensure you have obtained a swipe for the treatment code provided during the current clinic session. If not then have your patient have a seat in the waiting room and you must return to clinic to find your instructor and have your procedure codes swiped. * If it takes you multiple appointments to complete a single treatment code, then that treatment code should be entered as in process for each of the sessions until it is completed. Treatment codes can be In processed multiple times and are required to reflect each appointment date that the student continues with the treatment. At each clinical session you must enter a treatment code that reflects care that was provided for that session even if it is incompleted. 4. Treatment plan timings * Dental hygiene students should not be scheduling patients until a comprehensive treatment plan has been completed. Communicate with the assigned dental student to coordinate timings to ensure the treatment plan is completed before you schedule the patient for hygiene care. If this is not possible your options are to have the treatment plan completed by the D4 on Hygiene Recall with you or speak to the front desk PCCs and they will look at scheduling the patient for a treatment plan. 5. Radiology * Ensure you have completed the radiology request form and procedure codes for any planned radiographic images and have this approved before bringing your patient to radiology. All radiology requests must be approved by a dental instructor or for those on DH Recall, by the floor lead. * CBCTs will not be fee waivered if they are for diagnostic purposes. If a CBCT is required to help diagnosis or treatment plan it will not be fee waivered. A CBCT may be considered to be fee waived is if it is needed during endodontic therapy to assess ongoing treatment (determine if student has ledged/perforated, missed a canal). Please discuss the cost of CBCT imaging with your patient prior to imaging. * Generally, all CBCTs on the main clinic floor should be for endodontic purposes only. When working with the endodontist if it is felt that a CBCT is required then this will need to be discussed with the patient (fee vs. payment) and then discussed and approved by the floor lead. * If a CBCT has been completed for any reason the radiographic report must be completed with the endodontist first, then forwarded to Dr. Sunil Mutalik for overall review. Have a great week. Trenna M.

FW: Holiday Donations
by Bernadette Franco 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

Good morning all, As part of Sigma Phi Alpha, Delta Eta Chapter's philanthropic efforts, we are hoping to collect donations for 1JustCity! They are a non-profit charitable organization that promotes social justice and addresses issues such as homelessness, food insecurity, and provides culturally appropriate support to their Indigenous guests. As they run three drop-in locations and have a large demand from the community, they mentioned it would be incredible to have some extra support this season. Their community development lead says bus tickets are a huge need (there are never enough, the more the merrier - especially with the cold weather approaching)! This includes senior tickets. Besides bus tickets, I have attached lists of accepted vs. not-accepted items. Please take a look! Both items and monetary donations are welcome. Item donations can be left in the box labeled SPA at the SDH office (Room D212 - 780 Bannatyne Ave.). Monetary donations can be made via e-transfer to this email address (sigmaphialpha.deltaeta(a)gmail.com<mailto:sigmaphialpha.deltaeta@gmail.com>), or by cash (enveloped, put into the SPA mailbox in D212). Bus tickets can be enveloped and put in the SPA mailbox as well. I will be taking all donations to 1JustCity on Friday, Nov 28th, so please have your donations in before then. This donation opportunity is extended to faculty and students at the SDH, so please feel free to participate if you wish. Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you and have a nice week! Stacey Urban, RDH President Sigma Phi Alpha, Delta Eta Chapter The School of Dental Hygiene D212-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2
