Camp Briardale - early exposure opportunity
by Elizabeth Sellers 23 Dec '25

23 Dec '25

Hi, Camp Briardale is a residential camp for children living with Type 1 diabetes run by Diabetes Canada as part of the dCamps program. It is hosted at BB Camp on Town Island in the Lake of the Woods (about a 15 min boat ride from Kenora). We take healthcare professional students in 2 roles - either as a "medical counsellor" or as a "midnight rambler". Both these positions offer the opportunity to learn about type 1 diabetes, living with a chronic illness, and being part of an interprofessional healthcare team. In addition - it is FUN! If you did not get to go to camp as a kid, this is your opportunity and if you have been to camp before this is your chance to go again! This year's camp dates are August 24-29 inclusive. There will also be training sessions on Friday Aug 21 (afternoon) and a full day on Saturday August 22. Camp is considered a 2 week early elective. Applications will be accepted early in the New Year with interviews early March. I have attached the staff handbook from last year as a FYI. You will find descriptions of the med counsellor and midnight rambler positions in it. As soon as the 2026 handbook is available and applications open, I will email your class again. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Hope you are all enjoying some well-deserved time off!

CL2029 FOSCE feedback forms
by Pre-Clerkship Evaluations 19 Dec '25

19 Dec '25

Hi everyone, I have uploaded the FOSCE feedback forms to Entrada. Notes: * Some examiners did not write anything down on your feedback forms - I have asked our video reviewer to watch your videos and give feedback, but you won't get them back until January. * Some might see additional feedback - I sent the wrong names for video review (we moved students around the day of the FOSCEs). That's good news for you as you get extra feedback.

Message from Dr. Butler - December 18 UM Closure and Exams, Pre-Clerkship
by Maggie Eade 19 Dec '25

19 Dec '25

The following message is sent on behalf of Dr. Butler, Associate Dean, UGME: Hello, I am resending the memo regarding yesterday's UM closure as well as the UGME Deferred Examination Guidelines. Let me begin by expressing my understanding that yesterday was upsetting for most of you. Your colleagues in the MMSA have expressed these concerns to me directly and I have received several emails. I wish to give you all more context regarding the events and decisions: UGME was aware of the possibility of inclement weather well in advance and we planned for multiple contingencies. We sent emails advising students to plan for this. I was in communication with the UM Registrar on Wednesday PM regarding UGME exam plans. All indicators were that UM would remain open. UM Leadership at Central Campus made the decision to close the UM around 710 AM yesterday. The notice I received was by an email to all faculty & Staff. UGME immediately sent out an email to students that your exams were cancelled. We appreciate that many students were already on campus as they planned ahead; thank you for your diligence. Several directors and administrative staff met at 9 AM to discuss options as students were asking for immediate direction. Many exam options were discussed: 12/18 - UM closed, 12/19 - insufficient notice to bring in invigilators, 12/20-1/04 - winter break per UM Medicine calendar, 1/05 - remedial exam, 1/12 remedial exam, most of January - insufficient time, March spring break - student travel / rest. Per Deferral Guidelines, the UGME standard is for deferred exams in June (except CV1 & RS1). However, our hope is to pick a time relatively close to the modular courses and we identified time for Med1 on 1/16 and Med2 on 1/23. UGME must consider all students writing exams, including those with known accommodations. We must also adhere to policy and be mindful of union contracts, room bookings, and availability of staff. UGME recognizes that there are now two exams on 1/16 for Med1 and three (including small PF-EM2) on 1/23 for Med2. Some students may find this too much for one day and you may choose to defer your extra exam to June. On a one-time basis, UGME will waive section #9 and permit you to defer the NS1 or EM2/PF-EM2 and still write the regularly scheduled exams (MSK1 and GHN2) that day. Students concerned about their academic progress or whether they should defer exams should speak with Student Affairs, Remediation, and / or Student Services Bannatyne. Regarding section #2 line 1. UGME considers severe inclement weather / hazardous conditions and road closures as an emergency. This is rationale for deferral. If you require clarification, please discuss with Student Affairs. Finally, my expectation is that all of you conduct yourselves respectfully with UGME staff members, including email communication. My hope is that you can trust us to act on your behalf with respect to your busy curriculum, UM decisions / policies, and the safety of all involved. Have a peaceful and restful holiday season / winter break. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2026. Sincerely, Dr. James B.
