Attached is a list of readings that must be completed by Sunday September 7. If you wish, you can complete the readings before the program starts. You will be required to complete a quiz on the attached readings. That quiz will be available to you starting orientation week. The first few weeks of the program are intense with a lot of assigned readings and new information.
Sunday September 14 will be the due date to complete the Dietitians of Canada "Swallow Screen and Assessment Course". This course will take 5 to 6 hours to complete and will be available at no cost to you. If you are not satisfied with your grade for this course and wish to do a rewrite you may do so at your own expense. This course counts toward 2.5% of your grade for HNSC 7700. We expect to obtain the registration code for the course from Dietitians of Canada soon and will share it with you via e-mail as soon as we have it. You can work ahead on this assignment if you choose. Be sure to retain your certificate of completion as you will be required to submit the certificate on UM learn by September 14.
At this time, all student communication related to the MAHN program must be directed to MAHN.info(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:MAHN.info@umanitoba.ca> . The MAHN Program Assistant will direct the e-mail to the appropriate person for response. E-mails sent directly to the MAHN Coordinator or MAHN Preceptor Liaison will not be responded to. We receive numerous e-mails each day and having the MAHN Program Assistant manage, and triage e-mails helps to ensure e-mails are not missed.
