Pre-readings for Sept 19th Interprofessional Education Session, 3-5 PM
by Laura MacDonald 05 Sep '25

05 Sep '25

Hello Dent 1, On Friday, September 19th, 3-5 pm, you have a scheduled in-person interprofessional education (IPE) activity embedded in DENT 1550 Introduction to Dentistry. I provided an orientation to the IPE activities a couple of weeks ago in DENT 1550. Dr. Schönwetter uploaded the Ppt of that orientation in your UML course. The Sept 19th, IPE session takes place on the Bannatyne campus. During this mandatory IPE session, we will begin exploring the interprofessional collaboration (IPC) competencies of relationship-focused care/services, team functioning, and communication. You have been placed in an interprofessional collaborative (IPC) learning team representing at least three health professionals who will be from one of the seven participating programs: midwifery, pharmacy, physiotherapy, dental hygiene, physician assistant, and respiratory therapy, and dentistry. Pre-readings/preparation: In advance of Sept 19th, you need to complete the UML online module: Introduction to Collaborative Team-based Care, which introduces the six competencies all health professions share about collaborative team-based care. The module is a mandatory and pre-reading for the IPE sessions embedded in the Dentistry program. The module will take you approximately 2 hours to complete. There are six quizzes (you access the quizzes only after completion of the section) and six optional reflections not included in the hours. Here is the link to the module: https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/home/642177. You will need your UM ID and password. Completion of the module six quizzes and your participation in the IPE activities embedded in the DENT 1550 Introduction to Dentistry contribute to your progression in DENT 1550 Introduction to Dentistry. Watch for the announcement informing you of your IPE learning team number, assigned room, and the IPE facilitators' names. Please arrive a few minutes before the session so you can locate your team in the room. The session will start promptly at 3 pm. If you are unsure where the room/building is, click https://maps.umanitoba.ca/ for a map of the Bannatyne campus. Please email Laura MacDonald, the Office of Interprofessional Collaboration College Lead for the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry and School of Dental Hygiene Lead, (Laura.MacDonald(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca>) or oipc(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:oipc@umanitoba.ca> if you have any questions or concerns. Dr. Schönwetter, please do post this email in the DENT 1550 UML announcement page for ease of retrieval. On behalf of the OIPC, we look forward to seeing you in person on Friday, Sept 19th, 3-5 PM!

by Rady Communications 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Message from Dr. Chris Christodoulou, Interim President and CEO of Shared Health Critical discussions with multiple partners to address the safety concerns surrounding Health Sciences Centre continue. The safety of our staff, patients, and visitors is paramount, and we have a shared responsibility of ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors. As we move forward, we recognize that the most meaningful progress will come from working together, uniting our voices and expertise. We must listen carefully to one another and, most importantly, honour the lived experiences of those who are on the frontlines at our facilities who have witnessed firsthand the impacts of the current challenges. We do not take this situation lightly. The road ahead may be complex, but I believe by collaborating and fostering an environment of openness and respect, we can drive the positive change needed to improve the safety and well-being of everyone at Health Sciences Centre. This is why I would like to invite you to be part of this ongoing dialogue. Your insights, concerns, and ideas are invaluable as we work together to chart a successful path forward. We need to hear from you. Over the next few weeks, members of the HSC executive and I want to meet with you to engage in candid, meaningful discussions about your safety. We are hoping to connect with you by at drop-in sessions - please see below for dates and times. Coffee will be provided. Please join me and members of HSC executive for one-on-one discussions on how we can best work together to address these challenges. We have three meetings planned for this week: * August 26, 1900-2030, HSC GH404, Green Owl Zone Level 4 * August 27, 1900-2030, HSC GH404, Green Owl Zone Level 4 * August 28, 1330-1500, HSC JL-399, Teal Fish Zone Level 3 (see map for zone locations<https://hsc.mb.ca/files/map-hallway.pdf>) Your voice is essential in this process. Thank you to staff who attended our first four meetings - we greatly appreciated the respectful and productive discussions about safety. If you are unable to make it in person, I encourage you to email me at cchristodoulou(a)sharedhealthmb.ca<mailto:cchristodoulou@sharedhealthmb.ca> and I will personally respond to each message. Current visits from HSC executive leadership to units will also continue in addition to these one-on-one opportunities. Thank you for your continued dedication to the patients we serve and the communities we support. Dr. Chris Christodoulou, MBChB Cum Laude DA (UK) FRCPC Interim President and CEO of Shared Health
