Understanding our Code of Ethics and Professionalism - Overview; December 10th
by UGME Year 1 Course Administrator 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Merril Pauls, PF1 Course Lead: ________________________________ Hey everyone, Quick note about the PF1 session tomorrow (December 10th @ 15:00). The original plan was for each group to review 7 videos that cover each of the commitments, and then we were going to spend the last 15 mins discussing the broader context for these videos. In reviewing all the videos it feels like you have done a great job providing important historical and cultural context for all of the commitments - and so there is no need for this debrief. I do want to provide a brief introduction for both of the groups - but can only be in one place at a time. I am going to start in Apotex 071 at 3 pm and provide 5 minutes of context prior to that group starting to watch the videos in sequence. I will then move to Apotex 050 - so the session for Apotex 050 will start at 3:06 (give me one minute to get there) and then you will start watching the videos around 3:11. When the videos are done the session will be finished. I will be moving back and forth between the theatres in case there are any questions.

Understanding our Code of Ethics and Professionalism - Part 2
by UGME Year 1 Course Administrator 04 Dec '25

04 Dec '25

This message is sent on behalf of Dr. Merril Pauls, PF1 Course Lead: ________________________________ Hey everyone, As I discussed with all the small groups on Wednesday at the Code of Ethics and Professionalism tutorial - if your video has been received and I have had a chance to review it then there is no need for you to be at the tutorial session on Friday. So far this is true for three of the groups - P1 - Commitment to the well-being of the patient P5 - Commitment to Professional Excellence P9 - Commitment to Self-care and peer support. If there are other groups who submit overnight and I have the chance to review the videos tomorrow am then I will let them know that they also do not have to attend the scheduled tutorial. If your group has not submitted your video and/or it has not been reviewed by myself then my expectation is that I will see you at the tutorial. Remember that the actual due date for the video is Monday. (also remember that you have multiple mandatory sessions after the tutorial on Friday - so if you are finished the video this would be good study time but would not be good end of the day time) Dr. Merril Pauls CCFP(EM), MHSc Professor, Department of Emergency Medicine Co-director of Professionalism teaching - Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba Emergency Physician, Health Sciences Centre

If you are a student in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences (all colleges and programs included) and are interested in receiving a basket, please complete an application by November 28, 2025 using the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/8na6yvtfL8 or scan this QR code: [https://mcusercontent.com/8626e7f5e712215d46b4f2fc9/images/c2dc0e33-4fad-8c…] You will receive an email with additional information including basket pick-up arrangements. This program is graciously funded 100% by donations from fellow RFHS learners, staff and faculty. * The toys provided are typically gender neutral, unless otherwise indicated in the application and encourage family time such as board games, puzzles, lego, craft kits. Additionally, Student Services Bannatyne Campus facilitates UM Food Bank access for all Bannatyne Campus (RFHS and any other learners completing programs here) as well as William Norie (Inner-City Social Worker program). SSBC collaborates with UM Food Bank to request food bank hampers that are delivered directly to SSBC office for learners to pick-up – this ensures more accessible access outside of visiting the Fort Garry Campus and primary UM Food Bank location. We ask that learners please contact SSBC office: bcss(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:bcss@umanitoba.ca> to request a hamper and learn additional details. Learners are certainly able to contact UM Food Bank and/or Financial Aid & Awards directly as well. For more information on the UofM food bank, please visit: https://umanitoba.ca/financial-aid-and-awards/u-m-food-bank, email: awards(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:awards@umanitoba.ca>, or call 204-474-9531.

Educational Exposure Program
by MMSA VSI 30 Oct '25

30 Oct '25

Hi everyone, I am writing to let you know about the Educational Exposure program, which aims to facilitate student input and collaboration with course leads to revise the current curriculum of various modular and longitudinal courses across M1 and M2. Currently, there are no courses that have specifically reached out to us looking for student input, but if there is a course that you are particularly interested in, or believe certain aspects could use revision, please reach out to the course leader and inquire whether they would be interested in collaborating with you on an educational exposure project for the course. Examples of previous educational exposures involve reviewing course materials to ensure diversity of patient cases, updating lectures to incorporate more visual examples of medical conditions, searching for relevant videos and articles to add to the list of supplementary resources for certain lectures, and reviewing literature to identify gaps in current curriculum. If you are interested or have any other questions regarding the program, please let me know! Once a project is completed, students will receive MSPR recognition for their hard work. I have attached a document that outlines the Educational Exposure program that you can pass on to instructors when inquiring, as well as the document involved in project registration. Regards, Dustin Erickson, B.Sc (Co-op) Vice Stick Internal Sr., Manitoba Medical Students’ Association Year 3 MD student Max Rady College of Medicine University of Manitoba

Anatomy of mediastinum) I’m sure can still be answered by Dr. Cloutier and be inputted into the Doc, but please just ensure they’re related to the CV system. Let me or Gurleen Cheema know if you have any questions or issues with the Google Doc! Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12bkIzducclkGc3IejQpv0o62KrmARQsn-_XfQvv… Thanks, Ryan Raabe

Student disability insurance
by Wendy Schultz 21 Oct '25

21 Oct '25

Please consider purchasing disability insurance. A student who suffers a disability may continue to incur living expenses. It is better to pay those expenses by collecting insurance rather than borrowing more on your Line of Credit (LOC). LOC Insurance, often called Loan Protector Insurance, is not guaranteed coverage and has limitations. Doctors Manitoba provides an exclusive disability insurance plan that is discounted and offered without a medical exam or other detailed health information. They offer this open enrollment between September 1 and October 31 each year. Please follow the link below to obtain more information and the link to the Application for Student Disability Income Insurance. If you have questions, or need assistance completing your application, please contact Mark Venton at mventon(a)doctorsmanitoba.ca<mailto:mventon@doctorsmanitoba.ca>. https://doctorsmanitoba.ca/benefits-insurance/insurance/student-insurance Disability insurance is also available from insurance companies and banks. These products have significant differences when compared to the Doctors Manitoba Student Disability Insurance, and I do NOT recommend that they be purchased. I would be pleased to talk to you about disability insurance or any other financial topic, one-on-one. Please contact me via email to schedule a Zoom meeting at a time that is convenient for you. Kind regards, Wendy Wendy L. Schultz, PhD, CPA, CA Financial Counsellor Max Rady College of Medicine | University of Manitoba Financial literacy blog: wendyschultzlifelessons.ca

Hello Pre-Clerkship students, Please see below announcement from Health Sciences Centre regarding a new SAFE mobile app. ________________________________ From: HSC/Shared Health Security & Safety Notifications <securityHSC(a)hsc.mb.ca<mailto:securityHSC@hsc.mb.ca>> Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2025 10:33:53 AM Subject: Introducing Shared Health SAFE Introducing Shared Health SAFE As we continue our work on initiatives to improve the security and safety of all staff, patients and visitors to Health Sciences Centre, we are pleased to share details about the launch of our new app, Shared Health Safe<https://sharedhealthmb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76176e8d6fa5d842d3…>. This free mobile app, which is available for both iOS and Android phones, is available to all Shared Health staff effective immediately. Users of the app will receive all HSC Hold and Secure notifications directly to their phone. The app includes a direct contact to HSC Security which allows the ability to request a HSC Safe Walk/Ride, and a personal alarm, among other features. It also offers users the ability to send their location to a friend or family member who can then watch the user’s movements and ensure they reach their destination. [https://mcusercontent.com/76176e8d6fa5d842d391923bf/images/08d10685-d285-0e…] To download the app, please click here<https://sharedhealthmb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76176e8d6fa5d842d3…> or go to the app store on your phone and search Shared Health Safe (icon for the app at right). If you’d like help to download the app, please visit the support table at HSC: Date: Friday, Oct. 17 Where: GH404 When: 1300 – 1530hrs (1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.) [https://mcusercontent.com/76176e8d6fa5d842d391923bf/images/206853a3-4ea3-c5…] A Quick Reference Guide for the app has also been developed and can be accessed here.<https://sharedhealthmb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76176e8d6fa5d842d3…> The Shared Health Safe app is built on AppArmor, a customizable personal safety app from Motorola Solutions that is used by healthcare facilities and educational institutions across North America, including by our partners at the University of Manitoba and University of Winnipeg. We are tremendously excited to make this app available and are confident it will be an enhancement and support to our existing electronic and on-site overhead paging notification systems. Thank you to our Emergency and Continuity Management and Communications teams for their work behind the scenes to get the app ready for your use. Work on Additional Security and Safety Improvements Continue Along with the launch of the Shared Health Safe app we continue to work to make additional improvements to enhance safety and security on the HSC campus. As was shared earlier, two Winnipeg Police Service officers will be stationed at HSC to provide a visible presence 24-7 in the emergency department. More details to follow. Staff have shared positive comments about this announcement and we look forward to the WPS officers working with our HSC security officers to provided a tiered response to security concerns. Efforts have also been made to improve signage throughout the campus, including recently added Respectful Workplace signs that make clear the expectations of the public when they enter our facility and interact with staff. Work also continues to address concerns raised by staff regarding transit stops around the HSC campus. William Avenue Parkade Effective Wednesday, Oct. 15, the William Ave. parkade began using rapid roll up doors to help close down entry points into William Parkade. In addition to that step, HSC Parking Services also recently added: * Staff card access and visitor scan access to the southwest corner of William Ave. parkade. * Staff card access only at the northeast William Ave. parkade door across from the backdoor of the Ambulatory Care Clinic at 700 Elgin Ave. Additional improvements to the safety and security of our parking lots, including the addition of roll up doors in our other parkades will also take place in the coming weeks. Additional highlights of note * Improved communication of all security contact numbers including signage across the campus and improved visibility of the security portal on the HSC intranet. * Enhanced screening at all access points including soon to be added additional weapons scanners. * Revised hold and secure policy and procedures including employee communication and education initiatives. * Increased security patrols in the tunnels/campus. * Improved panic alarm signage in the tunnels (see photo at right) including a map of where panic alarms are located in the tunnel system<https://sharedhealthmb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76176e8d6fa5d842d3…>. [https://mcusercontent.com/76176e8d6fa5d842d391923bf/images/ea5f59d1-2466-c5…] More information about HSC safety and security efforts can be found at this link. <https://sharedhealthmb.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=76176e8d6fa5d842d3…> Although we have more to do, these incremental steps are making a difference as we strive towards our end goal of a safe and secure environment for all who enter HSC.
