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. 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>

FINAL - Fall Term 2025 Examination Schedule
by Susan Petras 06 Mar '26

06 Mar '26

Hello Dentistry Students. Please note that the exam schedule is now FINAL. Exams have been scheduled/confirmed in UM Learn. Please be reminded of the policies listed below and seek supports as needed as we enter the stress of end of term. Good luck on all your exams and I hope you have a very restful winter holiday! Susan Susan Petras Student Affairs Coordinator Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry University of Manitoba D113 - 780 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 [cid:image001.jpg@01DC3E84.6E813940] (204) 789-3484 Susan.Petras(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Susan.Petras@umanitoba.ca> Please be reminded of the following College policies (as listed on your course outlines): Deferred/Make-up Exams: Examinations that, due to student absence, must be re-administered at times other than the scheduled period, are highly disruptive to the course sequence. They require the preparation of another examination, scheduling of a testing location, and the assignment of faculty to proctor the exam. The different date has the potential to afford an unfair advantage to a student. The Course Coordinator may, at his/her discretion, choose to alter the format of a re-administered examination to accommodate the above concerns. A re-administered examination may include one or a combination of short answer, essay, or multiple-choice questions, and can be in either oral or written format. Students are expected to write examinations on the scheduled dates. Students with unexcused examination absences will be given a mark of zero ('0') for the exam. To obtain a deferral for an examination, students must give notice of the absence to the Instructor, Course Coordinator, and the Dean's Office (absent(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:absent@umanitoba.ca>) of the absence prior to the start of the examination. This can be a very stressful time of year. If you need some help in coping with the stress, please contact: STUDENT SERVICES AT BANNATYNE CAMPUS https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/student-services-bannatyne-campus

Application open for Ndinawemaaganag: opportunity to participate in an interprofessional community engagement experience within a rural or remote Indigenous community, Summer 2026
by Laura MacDonald 10 Feb '26

10 Feb '26

Hello, On behalf of Lisa Mendez, Office of Interprofessional Collaboration, RFHS, I am letting you know of this experiential learning opportunity engaging with rural or remote Indigenous communities. Importantly, do check your academic program calendars for any conflicts. Please read below. 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:image004.png@01DC9AAC.01BC1CB0] 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, Ininiwak, Anisininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Dene, and Inuit, and on the national homeland of the Red River Métis. I respect the treaties made on these territories. I acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and present. With a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration, I move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities. In all my actions, I am grounded in salutogenesis and aim to contribute to health creation within places and settings where people live, learn, play, work, and love. From Lisa: Applications are now open for "Ndinawemaaganag" a unique opportunity to participate in an interprofessional community engagement experience within a rural or remote Indigenous community in summer 2026. Ndinawemaaganag (All my relations) Summer 2026 - Fill out form<https://forms.office.com/r/ZkDAAS6ShJ> The program was named Ndinawemaaganag by Elder Margaret Lavallee and translates to "All My Relations." This meaning speaks to the connections the students make with the community, each other, and the land and guides the interprofessional and social accountability opportunities within this program for Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. The experiences are all directed by the community partners to provide opportunities for students to learn about their community, its people, and health and well-being. Some of the experiences are anchored in a Sundance ceremony, while others include opportunities to spend time in their nursing stations and health centres. All experiences include land based experiences. Some experiences involve camping with the community while in others, students will stay in cabins on the water (and in some you'll do both!). All communities have road access, however in some scenarios students may fly. All expenses (travel, food, accommodations, ceremonial contributions etc) are covered by the RBC Experiential Learning Travel Fund. Sundances:<https://news.umanitoba.ca/sundances-offer-students-crash-course-in-culture/> For the various sundances, we play important helper roles (picking/preparing medicines, cutting trees, building the lodge, helping the kitchen staff with communal meals, assisting with cleanup). In most cases we camp with the community, however there is an option to commute to the Blacksmith Sundance (near Spruce Woods) or stay in a hotel in The Pas for the Opaskwayak. Ideally students will be available from early Friday morning to help build with lodge and then Saturday and Sunday to support/observe/participate in other ceremonies within the sundance. * Blacksmith Sundance (Spruce Woods): June 11-14, 2026 * Opaskwayak Sundance (OCN/The Pas): July 2-5, 2026 * Shallow Bay Sundance (Grand Rapids): July 9-12, 2026 * York Landing Sundance (York Landing) August 6-9, 2026 * Sakitowin Sundance (Cross Lake/Pimicikamak): August 20-23, 2026 * Two Spirit Sundance (Near Portage): To be confirmed Longer community experiences: There are communities offering one or two-week opportunities: Norway House: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend time in the newly built Health Centre of Excellence, in community programing, and in land-based experiences. Expect to spend time on and around the water and to be in ceremony. Students will be in community for the Indigenous Peoples day. Accommodations are a cabin on the water. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available to accommodate clinical/academic schedules. Grand Rapids: Students will have a wholistic opportunity to learn about the community and health and well-being. Students will spend the first week at the nursing station and with the community health programs. The weekend will spent at the Shallow Bay sundance. Week two is scheduled based on opportunities available and student preference (may involve the nursing station, a land based camp, treaty days etc). Accommodations are a cabin on the water during the week and camping on the weekend. Priority will be given to students who can attend for 2 weeks, however one week options may be available. Tobacco camp (SERDC)<https://serdc.mb.ca/health/commercial-tobacco-reduction-strategy> in the Whiteshell: Students will be helpers at a camp for youth where the focus is to provide smoking cessation strategies, teachings re: traditional uses of tobacco/cultural practices, and harm reduction/health promotion strategies. Youth come from the communities in the South East Region to Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell; students will stay in cabins. Norway House Cree Nation: June 15-26, 2026 Grand Rapids: July 6-17, 2026 Tobacco Camp: August 10-14, 2026 (anticipated, not yet confirmed) Why is this being offered? The RFHS is committed to offering interprofessional education to enhance the provision of integrated care, and is dedicated to actively building and enhancing partnerships to contribute to the communities it serves, including Indigenous Health partnerships, for collaborative care. What costs will be covered? Costs for students' travel, food and accommodations will be covered by the RBC Health Sciences Student Travel Initiative. What is the deadline to apply? The first deadline to apply will be Monday April 6th at which point Lisa will begin confirming matches. The application will continue to stay open as long as spaces remain for students. Where will students stay? How will they get there? Depending on the experience, students will either stay in the professional accommodations at the health centre, a hotel, or a cabin in the area. If attending a sundance it is likely you will camp with the community. Camping equipment is available if needed. Students will either fly or drive to the experience; carpooling will occur where possible. Will students receive credit for this experience? In most cases these experiences do not contribute to a specific course. For UGME students, the experience is approved as an "Early Exposure" if the hour requirement is met. Who can apply? Students enrolled in the health profession programs in any of the five Colleges of the RFHS who have completed at least one term of their program are eligible are prioritized. If space permits, students from other programs outside of Rady may be considered. Where can I get more information? General questions about this opportunity can be directed to the RFHS Collaborative Healthcare Practice Lead Lisa.Mendez(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lisa.Mendez@umanitoba.ca>. Updates will be posted here: https://umanitoba.ca/health-sciences/student-experience/interprofessional-c… Quotes from previous students: It was amazing to see how significant the ceremony was for the people and their connection to the land. With each ceremony done, there were many lessons to be learned, but one important lesson was how well the non-pharmacological intervention assisted the Indigenous people in healing and coping with their grief. These ceremonies were beautiful and moving, and I felt honored to be a part of them. The value of such spiritual practice was clear to me and helped show me that there is a great need for our society to support people to look after their own and their community's spiritual wellbeing. This weekend was one of the most memorable experiences I have had throughout my time at the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences. There were many powerful learnings that I would have never experienced inside a classroom nor reading through books. It was evident to me that a sense of belonging in community, language, culture and traditions have a huge role to play in healing. If you are considering this experience but are on the fence, just go for it... this experience has been one of the most valuable to me as a person and professional, as it has given me insight into Indigenous culture, health care in the North, and interprofessional practice that I could not have gotten anywhere else.

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/

Undergraduate Lab Spaces
by Trenna Reeve 23 Oct '25

23 Oct '25

Students, During student orientation at the start of this academic year it was made clear to each of your classes that the Brass, Hart and wet lab areas are joint spaces used by dental and dental hygiene student groups and must be kept neat, clean and tidy at all times. After-hours access to lab spaces is a privilege not a right. Currently the college has supported the students' request to have these labs open after hours (10pm on Monday and 8pm Thurs-Fri). After hours and weekend access was negotiated to support student learning under the agreement that students would be mindful to keep the areas clean and neat. To note, most dental colleges do not allow after-hours lab access and if so, only with very reduced supervised hours. As you can see from the attached photos the wet lab (between Brass and Hart labs) has hit a new low on cleanliness. These photos were taken this afternoon, this is deplorable. Also, there was equipment that was left running and a hot glue gun that was left plugged in and heated. This is unacceptable and a building safety issue. The limit has been reached for having myself and your course coordinators reminding you of your responsibility to keep these spaces clean and tidy. Lab cleanliness includes * all counters clean and free of debris * the face of all cabinets free of debris * all equipment that is not in direct use is shut off * the model trimmer and basin are clean and free of debris * all plaster splash has been removed from the model vibrators * all sinks are clean and clear of debris * polisher is clean and the side basins are free of debris * all supplies have been replaced to their proper storage location * all personal equipment has been removed and stored appropriately * stone scales are clean and stored properly * countertop paper replaced daily or when it becomes overly soiled or wet * No food, drinks in lidded containers Starting immediately if any of the pre-clinical lab spaces are not clean and tidy, that space will be closed for after-hours access. You will all lose the privilege of after-hours access to the pre-clinical spaces. This will be one night or one weekend loss of access but could progress to full loss of afterhours/weekend access to all lab spaces if this is not corrected. You must also ensure that you are following the after-hours timings. Custodial services have indicated that students remain in the lab after agreed times and they are unable to complete their task responsibilities. Custodial services should not get to the point that they must call security to have you move out of the lab so they can do their job. This is not fair. Do not negotiate your exit timing with custodial staff. Exit the lab on time, period. The wet lab must be cleaned immediately. I will leave this space open tonight, so you have time to sort the space out appropriately. It will be assessed tomorrow and each day subsequently and if not clean the lab space will be locked for that evening or the full weekend. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.
