by Laura MacDonald 20 Jan '26

20 Jan '26

Hello Dent 1, I am looking forward to the interprofessional education (IPE) session this Friday, January 23rd, from 3-5 PM. We will be starting promptly at 3 PM. Please ensure you are seated with your IPE teammates. We have kept you with the same teammates as for the September 19th, 2025 IPE session. The session is embedded in DENT 1202 Early Clinical Experiences. Attendance is mandatory and will be shared with your course coordinator. The planning team for this IPE session is excited to partner again with Shared Health and the George and Fay Yee Center for Healthcare Innovation. We are using the same format as for September 19th, 2025. Your team will hear two lived experiences from patient/family advisors, different than the people who shared their stories in September. Your team will huddle to prepare questions for the presenters. Huddling is a common means of communicating amongst team members, and hence, we are using the strategy to simulate team function.

How Can I Treat Loose Watery Bowel Issues at Home?
by drelizabethblackburn＠gmail.com 05 Jan '26

05 Jan '26

Loose, watery bowel movements can often be managed at home with supportive care. Prioritize hydration by drinking water, oral rehydration solutions, or clear broths to replace lost fluids and electrolytes. Follow a bland diet such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (the BRAT diet) until stools normalize. Avoid dairy, caffeine, alcohol, and greasy or spicy foods. Probiotics may help restore gut flora balance. Maintain good hygiene to prevent reinfection. If symptoms persist beyond a few days, worsen, or include fever or blood, seek medical advice. Some online discussions reference treatments alongside terms like nizonide wholesale, but professional guidance remains essential. Visit :- https://www.medzsupplier.com/product/nizonide-500mg/

27 Nov '25

Hello Dentistry students, Attached are your winter term schedules by week and the overall Winter Timetable. Also included is the Dentistry/Dental Hygiene Academic Schedule. Note winter term courses will be available in UM Learn as of January 5th. If access to any fall courses disappears over the next few weeks, please let your instructor know and copy me and Dr. John Perry on the email. There are sometimes some behind the scenes processes that shut down UM Learn automatically and we will ensure that they are up and available for your exam period. After January 5th, please use your schedules in UM Learn as I will not be updating these Excel documents and/or re-circulating them. Note that any exam information included on the weekly schedules is DRAFT and subject to change. Please do not make any travel arrangements until these exam schedules are FINAL. Please also note that you are required to attend clinical clearance at the end of term. Presently, this has been scheduled after the last week of clinics for D4 and the week after exams for D1-3. If there are discrepancies between lecture information entered in UM Learn and your course outline, please confirm with your Course Coordinator. If there are changes to be made in UM Learn, please let me know and I can update the schedule as required. Good luck with exams coming up and have a very restful and joyful holiday season!
