Mock OSCE exam resource
by John Perry 26 Sep '25

26 Sep '25

Good afternoon D4 Students, Dr. Blaine Cleghorn from Dalhousie University (and a graduate from the University of Manitoba dentistry program) provides mock OSCE exam questions and answers to dental students across Canada on an annual basis. He has requested in his email below that his Mock OSCE exam site be made available to our D4 students. Instructions to access questions and answers are detailed in the attachment. It is hoped that this will be of benefit in your preparation for the NDEB examinations. JP John B. Perry, DMD, MSc, FRCD(C) Acting Associate Dean (Academic) Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba D113C 780 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 Tel: 204-795-5536 Fax: 204-789-3912 www.umanitoba.ca/dentistry<http://www.umanitoba.ca/dentistry> [cid:image002.png@01DC2EEB.C1ED7830] From: Blaine Cleghorn <Blaine.Cleghorn(a)Dal.Ca<mailto:Blaine.Cleghorn@Dal.Ca>> The Mock OSCE exam site is available again this year to dental students to use as a resource in preparing for the NDEB Virtual OSCE (VOSCE) exam or other exams that use an extended match format. There are currently 144 questions available in 8 testlets in English and French using the released NDEB OSCE templates. As the NDEB has transitioned to the new VOSCE exam in March 2023, the Mock OSCE exam site will still be relevant due to the extended match format questions that will continue to be in the VOSCE. I request that you pass this information on to the DDS4/DMD4 students in your program. Not every student may choose to access the Mock OSCE exam site, but they all should all have the option to do so. There is no cost to access the site. If you haven't had a chance to review the material on the site, please feel free to register using the instructions that are attached. Sincerely, Blaine M Cleghorn DMD MS Dalhousie University, Faculty of Dentistry 5120-5981 University Avenue Halifax, NS B3H 4R2 Canada

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.

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.
