College of Nursing scholarships
by Marie Jivan 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hello Midwifery, Fort Garry and UCN Nursing students, The deadline to apply for scholarships in the College of Nursing is Wednesday May 31, 2023. Please visit: https://umanitoba.ca/nursing/student-experience/resources-undergraduate-stu… for a listing of scholarships available. If you have looked at this link prior to today and applied, you may notice some changes. Pay attention on how to apply, as some scholarships require an application. If you applied by email/paper already, you do not have to resubmit. The NSA Scholarships (available to all midwifery and nursing students) are under "All Years". An application is required. Scholarships are awarded on academic merit (and sometimes other documents). Your degree GPA (DGPA) for nursing can be seen in AURORA at the top of your transcript under Degrees. A DGPA is different than your Cumulative GPA. Only those students selected as recipients will be notified later in the summer (likely August). Best wishes, Marie Marie Jivan, B.Comm (Hons) Student Advisor College of Nursing, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba Office 263 Helen Glass, 89 Curry Place Winnipeg, MB, R3T 2N2 [Text Description automatically generated] Phone: 204.474.9955 marie.jivan(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:marie.jivan@umanitoba.ca> umanitoba.ca/nursing

A Multi-model Pathway to Address Age-Related Dementia care needs in Indigenous Populations Dr. Jacklin is a medical anthropologist, and her research focuses on chronic disease care for Indigenous peoples, including investigations concerning aging, cognitive health and dementia, diabetes, and Indigenous health/medical education. She is the principal investigator of research funded by the National Institute of Aging, the ICARE Project. This research focuses on building community-based partnerships with Tribal Nations and First Nations in the Great Lakes Region collecting data on dementia services needed for indigenous populations. Currently, Dr. Jacklin is the founder of the International Indigenous Dementia Research Network (IIDRN) and the Indigenous Cognition Awareness and Aging Awareness Research. The IIDNR highlights researchers, students, indigenous community members, and policymakers who are conducting research on Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, and healthy aging in indigenous peoples. The network's goal is to improve the knowledge about how Indigenous people understand and experience dementia and by doing so improve care and advocate for cultural awareness that can assist Indigenous caregivers, communities, and health care providers. Prior to joining the University of Minnesota, Dr. Jacklin was a founding faculty member of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine in Sudbury. We look forward to learning and discussing how her work has supported the community development that enriches care for the Indigenous peoples.
