by Laura MacDonald 16 Sep '26

16 Sep '26

Hello, I am forwarding you the invitation from Lisa Mendez, Collaborative Health Care Practice Lead with the Office of Interprofessional Collaboration. This invite is a wonderful opportunity. The invite was sent to Dent 2, 3, and 4 and DH 3 in the Spring 2026. I am bringing it to the top of your email, plus including Dent 1 and DH 2. Still, my apologies for forwarding you the invitation from Lisa at this time. I missed it in my email. Please connect with Lisa at Lisa.Mendez(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Lisa.Mendez@umanitoba.ca> if you have any questions. Importantly, you must not miss class, lab, seminars, or clinics scheduled in your respective programs. Please read the email below: From Lisa: Applications are now open for the men's gathering for students who identify as men. It's Sept 30-October 4th; priority will be given to those who can leave by noon on October 2nd (however, leaving later can be accommodated). I'm just trying to balance knowing you have classes with wanting you to have enough time to get into the experience. Travel, food costs, and a contribution to the camp on our behalf will be covered by the RBC Experiential Learning Travel Fund. If interested, please fill in this form (If you have already been to community with me, just fill in your name and date/time you can travel). Carpooling will be encouraged. Ndinawemaaganag (All my relations) Summer 2026 - Fill out form<https://forms.office.com/r/ZkDAAS6ShJ> Expect to experience some healing ceremonies (sweat lodges, reiki, cedar baths), participate in some fun activities (bow & arrow and moose call competitions), and to learn about health and healing from elders, knowledge keepers and community members. Learners will stay in a rustic cabin (you'll take your own bedding). Food is provided-I anticipate lots of good food like local pickerel, stews, Bannock etc. Please reach out to me if you have any questions: lisa.mendez(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:lisa.mendez@umanitoba.ca> or 204-583-8841 (cell).

Request- Personal Cell Numbers
by Nipaben Thanki 15 Sep '26

15 Sep '26

Hello Dent 2 Students, I hope you had a good summer & are getting back into learning! All students are required to be set up in the Cisco Unity Student Voicemail Message System (see attached document for details). Please send me your personal cell phone number by next week, Thursday, September 25, 2026. How the system will work is when your patients call the student voicemail number, enter your student voicemail ID number, and leave you a voice message. You will then receive a notification on your cell phone that you have a message. The system is in place to protect student confidentiality and for ease of patient communication. Please send me your personal cell phone number by next week, Thursday, September 25, 2026. Thank you, Nipa Thanki Administrative Assistant Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Clinical Support Services D126-780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 [cid:7a9e6c58-29e1-4809-bac4-168a0cdd4b43] Office: 204-977-5616 Fax:204-789-3950 Nipaben.Thanki(a)umanitoba.ca

Clinic Update - 14 September 2026
by Trenna Reeve 13 Sep '26

13 Sep '26

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students, It has been a busy start to the new academic year which is great to see. A couple of points to pass along to help keep you all on track: 1. Rotation schedule - the rotation schedule is a live document; there will be changes to it as the year progresses. It is your responsibility to check the rotation schedule at least on a weekly basis. If there are any last-minute changes (within the week) then Kat will send you an email to update you. If it is more than a week out, then an email will NOT be sent as the expectation is that you are checking the schedule regularly. 2. Treatment plans - DO NOT copy and paste treatment plans from last year or treatment plans that were not made by you. 3. Hygiene treatment - not all patients have been assigned to hygiene students yet. We are working on setting up a designation in axium so it will be clear which patients are being held for hygiene student assignment, and which will be for the dental student to complete. For now the expectation is for the dental student to check: * SPT - if hygiene student completed the last SPT then it will remain with hygiene students * NPP- confirm with your PCC, anything complex perio will be held for dental hygiene students - they require this for their requirements so please do not proceed 4. Hygiene recall exams - if a dental student completes a CTP, or treatment plan update, or treatment plan update no charge, the dental student needs to request open access to the patient's chart and the procedure code needs to be under the dental student. The hygiene student completes the interprofessional note, the dental student completes the treatment plan, and a general referral is sent to reception if there are treatment needs. 5. It is the student's responsibility to confirm and know what the patient's insurance coverage is and communicate that with the patient. If you are unsure then discuss this with your PCC BEFORE your patient's appointment. For example CDCP covers 1 recall exam per 12 months - you need to know when this was last charged out so that you can follow this schedule and/or communicate with your patients when treatment may or will not be covered. Treatment costs cannot be a surprise to your patients - communicate. 6. Make sure you are updating axium when you have seated your patient and when you have dismissed your patient from the clinic. In case of an emergency we need to know exactly who is and is not in the clinic at any given time. 7. Ensure you are following IPAC protocol. Hand hygiene audits are underway. Any severe breaches may impact your ability to work in the clinic environment. Keep yourself and your patients safe. Have a great week. Trenna M.
