Hi Med 1's, We know the lecture recordings haven't been posting to Entrada as usual. To help with this, Alyssa and I will be pulling the recordings twice a day so you can still access them. Just a quick reminder - you'll need to authenticate once prior to watching the recordings. Please see the screenshot below for reference. [cid:image002.png@01DC1684.B991B360] If you run into issues like this, please don't reach out to Dr. Fedirchuk. Instead, keep your FM0 course reps Yana syvolosy(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:syvolosy@myumanitoba.ca> and Anthony kozaka2(a)myumanitoba.ca<mailto:kozaka2@myumanitoba.ca> updated. They'll connect with us on behalf of your class and will also relay messages from us back to you. Thanks so much for your understanding!

HSC Safety and Security Drop-In Meetings
by Rady Communications 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

Message from Dr. Chris Christodoulou, Interim President and CEO of Shared Health Critical discussions with multiple partners to address the safety concerns surrounding Health Sciences Centre continue. The safety of our staff, patients, and visitors is paramount, and we have a shared responsibility of ensuring a safe and supportive environment for everyone who walks through our doors. As we move forward, we recognize that the most meaningful progress will come from working together, uniting our voices and expertise. We must listen carefully to one another and, most importantly, honour the lived experiences of those who are on the frontlines at our facilities who have witnessed firsthand the impacts of the current challenges. We do not take this situation lightly. The road ahead may be complex, but I believe by collaborating and fostering an environment of openness and respect, we can drive the positive change needed to improve the safety and well-being of everyone at Health Sciences Centre. This is why I would like to invite you to be part of this ongoing dialogue. Your insights, concerns, and ideas are invaluable as we work together to chart a successful path forward. We need to hear from you. Over the next few weeks, members of the HSC executive and I want to meet with you to engage in candid, meaningful discussions about your safety. We are hoping to connect with you by at drop-in sessions - please see below for dates and times. Coffee will be provided. Please join me and members of HSC executive for one-on-one discussions on how we can best work together to address these challenges. We have three meetings planned for this week: * August 26, 1900-2030, HSC GH404, Green Owl Zone Level 4 * August 27, 1900-2030, HSC GH404, Green Owl Zone Level 4 * August 28, 1330-1500, HSC JL-399, Teal Fish Zone Level 3 (see map for zone locations<https://hsc.mb.ca/files/map-hallway.pdf>) Your voice is essential in this process. Thank you to staff who attended our first four meetings - we greatly appreciated the respectful and productive discussions about safety. If you are unable to make it in person, I encourage you to email me at cchristodoulou(a)sharedhealthmb.ca<mailto:cchristodoulou@sharedhealthmb.ca> and I will personally respond to each message. Current visits from HSC executive leadership to units will also continue in addition to these one-on-one opportunities. Thank you for your continued dedication to the patients we serve and the communities we support. Dr. Chris Christodoulou, MBChB Cum Laude DA (UK) FRCPC Interim President and CEO of Shared Health

Thanking your donors throughout medical school
by Awards UGME 21 Aug '25

21 Aug '25

Good afternoon Med 1 students, We have completed our allocations for entrance scholarships. Those of you that were deemed eligible have already received notice from Financial Aid & Awards to accept your scholarship. Those that did not receive an email, I regret to inform you that you were not selected. The College of Medicine has put in place a requirement for recipients of awards/bursary/scholarships to send a thank-you note to the donor. It is always important to take the time to remember the effort and initiative of each donor who established the Max Rady College of Medicine scholarships, prizes, or bursaries, either in loving memory of a family member or previous classmates. Expressing your thanks is considered to be an act of professionalism. Students who receive a named award/scholarship/bursary throughout their four years, are expected to send a thank you note to the listed donor. Students that receive awards/scholarships/bursaries will be notified by Financial Aid & Awards and asked to accept their award (see example below). [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated] Students who do not send a thank you note will be deemed ineligible for subsequent scholarships and awards. This change has been approved by the Awards/Scholarship/Bursary Committee and endorsed by the Dean and members of the Dean's Council. In the case where a donor is not listed, please contact me at AwardsUGME(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:AwardsUGME@umanitoba.ca> Thank you, Jen
