MAHN Update- Potential Health Care Strike
by MAHN Info 05 Oct '24

05 Oct '24

Dear Students, You may be aware of a potential health care support worker strike on October 8 that may affect your current practicum placement. We understand that this situation may cause concern and uncertainty, and we want to assure you that we are closely monitoring the developments. We will follow up directly with any student that is impacted should a strike occur. In the event your preceptor is involved in a strike or job action, your placements will be on hold until job action is resolved. Decisions regarding placements will be determined based upon the nature of strike action and the impact on the employer. Students will still be required to complete the minimum 1250 hours of practicum training to graduate the MAHN program. Depending on the length of job action, students may have their program extended if they are at risk of not achieving the minimum required practicum hours or required competencies. At this time, please continue with your current schedules and reach out to your preceptors or MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> if you have any immediate concerns or questions. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time. We appreciate your dedication and resilience as we navigate this situation together. Sincerely, Jessica Jessica Rutherford RD, MSc Master of Applied Human Nutrition (MAHN) Coordinator Department of Food and Human Nutritional Sciences Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences University of Manitoba
