Weekly Clinical Update 21 Sep 2025
by Trenna Reeve 21 Sep '25

21 Sep '25

To all dental and dental hygiene students: Updates for clinical activities: 1. Infection prevention and control guidelines are not suggestions, they are mandatory. I have indicated to all clinical staff to write IPAC breaches and submit them to me for review. If at any point, a student has a major breach or repeated minor breaches there is the potential for clinical activities to be limited for that student while IPAC remediation occurs. * the college follows the Manitoba Dental Association IPAC mandated policies and protocols. Accepting these guidelines and incorporating them into your workflow will be essential for your entire career * Wash your hands 2. Government of Canada Fund Request * Check your axium fund request forms. If the form has not yet been approved, you will need to review & update as the form has been modified and requires more detailed information * We added clarity to the questions that need to be answered/confirmed by the patient * The form has been divided so that both DH & Dental Students can add/update their own treatment plans/procedure codes and amounts for the same patient. Any changes, additions, modifications can be done but then you must resubmit the form to Associate Dean for review * Anytime they update a tx plan or amount, you need to resubmit the form to the Associate Dean indicating there has been a change and get it approved * Include all treatment costs - do not forget to add in xrays & exams on the fund request * Notify your PCC when treatment is completed so that the funding can be applied * Students all have access to view all of the tabs so you can verify the status of your requests Have a great week. * Trenna M.

by Dieter Schonwetter 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

I wish to meet with you to do a short needs assessment on students' use of AI. So far the DH2, DH3 as well as the D1s, D3s, and D4s have completed this survey. The main focus is to help identify what your AI needs as dental students. For example, do we need to provide resources for you to be able to use AI for learning. More details will be provided at 1:30. Please bring a laptop, cell phone or ipad dieter

Clinical Update - 8 Sep 2025
by Trenna Reeve 07 Sep '25

07 Sep '25

To all dental hygiene and dental students, We are now in full swing with clinical operations. It has been a busy week getting back to seeing patients and remembering how to use axiUm. A few points to pass along for next week in order to improve and streamline your clinical experience. 1. Students must inquire about government insurance coverage, prior to booking the patient. They should inquire with their designated PCC or if they are not available, inquire with another PCC or Katalina Munoz - Insurance Coordinator. Students must know what coverage a patient has BEFORE booking the patient. 2. When contacting patients, leave 1 week between each contact attempt to allow the patient to return your call and update the contact notes with all communication. You can request to have a patient dispositioned from your patient list only after you have attempted to contact your patient over a 3 week period (1x/week) and have this properly documented in patient contact notes. 3. Please try to refrain from coming to the window to make inquiries with your designated PCC. An email or axiUm message is preferred. If necessary, send as high importance. During certain times of the day the PCCs must focus on assigned tasks and patients. An email will be most efficient. 4. Radiology Request Forms must include the student's name that is requesting the radiographs. 5. OHAF/ HC FUND - Apply for patients who do not have Private Insurance or are 40% or 60% covered with CDCP Insurance. 6. Ensure at the end of each day you are following IPAC protocols in cleaning and disinfecting your operatory including cleaning the trap on the chair you are using. Have a great week ahead. Trenna M.

Mandatory IPE Session: September 12th from 3pm-5pm
by Laura MacDonald 05 Sep '25

05 Sep '25

Hello This email is also posted in your DENT 2202 Intro to Comp Care as the session is embedded in that course. On September 12th from 3pm-5pm, you will collaborate with an interprofessional (IP) team of learners from the following five programs: dentistry, dental hygiene, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and respiratory therapy. There are 30 IP teams split into two groups (Group 1: team 1-15; Group 2: teams 16-30). * Group 1: Teams 1-15 (n=15 teams) who will be in the Frederic Gaspard Theatre, aka Theatre A in the Basic Medical Science Building. Moni Fricke will be the lead IPE facilitator in the room. * Group 2: Teams 16-30 (n= 15 teams) who will be in Theatre B in the Basic Medical Science Building. Sandra Biesheuvel will be the lead IPE facilitator in the room.. * Link to Campus Map University of Manitoba - Maps<https://maps.umanitoba.ca/> There are two interprofessional education (IPE) activities set up for the afternoon. One involves meeting a standardized patient (Sandy Green) in the dental clinic of the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry and the other a team discussion on patient compliance. The two groups do both activities but at different times. IPE facilitators will be available to the teams for both activities. The table below identifies your team number. Be sure you are sitting with your team mates by 3PM as the session will start promptly at that time. Facilitators will be on site to guide you to your assigned locations. Here is the simulation scenario with the standardized patient Sandy Green: Patient Sandy Green (63 years of age) is at an inter-professional healthcare clinic because Sandy is experiencing right-sided jaw pain. The healthcare team of which you are a member, meets Sandy in the dental clinic given cardiac-related condition has been ruled out. As a team, take a history of Sandy’s jaw pain. The team may choose to externally palpate the jaw, and assess range of motion. Sandy has COPD and hypertension. Sandy experiences compliance challenges with healthcare providers’ recommendation, for example, physical activity and smoking cessation. For the purpose of the simulation, imagine the dental clinic is within a healthcare clinic. Please note: infection control protocol requires the clinician to wash hands, don gloves, and wear a face mask when touching a patient. These will be available in the dental clinic. Do not perform an internal oral physical assessment as the simulation is not set up for this. In preparation, you might consider using an AI, like Co-pilot and insert the scenario into the chat and ask what your role might be in the scenario. Do know that standardized patient has much a fuller story share than you have been provided in the scenario above. Do focus on the fact that Sandy does experience challenges with some professional recommendation. You are not responsible for coming with a care or treatment plan, that is not the focus of the IPE session. Rather, it is about learning about, with, and from each other—for example, the types of questions you ask and your perspectives. Be curious. Here is a table with your team numbers. Dent 2 IPE Mandatory Session: Sep 12 2025, 3-5 PM Be in the room and seating with your team mates by 3 PM Teams 1-15 to Frederic Gaspard Theatre (Theatre A); Teams 16-30 to Theatre B Team Number Last First 1 Abidullah Ibrahim 2 Austin Kayla 3 Caswell Carthy 4 Cheng Daniel 5 Cumming Meredith 6 Duncan Jillian 7 Golubchik Liel 8 Holmes Ethan 9 Huh Rapha 10 Iguodala Jennifer 11 Iqbal Nuha 12 Jalal Leen 13 Kandil Ali 14 Khan Ragheeba 15 Khonsari Asra 16 Kipling Sundance 17 Kowalchuk Emma 18 Lee Amy 19 Lee Jinwoo (Kevin) 20 Lorenzo Colin 21 Paches Yaroslav Maxim 22 Paddock Brett 23 Paknahad Amirvala 24 Pyo Sanghyuk (Matt) 25 Rukh Lala 26 Sareen Shaan 27 Shi Zhuoran (Hannah) 28 Steiman Benjamin 29 Xiang Lily 30 Zhang Ziqi After the session, given the session is part of DENT 2202, I will send Dr. Haimeur, course coordinator, the attendance and participation feedback.
