FORDETAILS

From the Department Head

As we near the end of another academic year, it looks as though

summer has finally arrived, and I hope that we can all take advantage of the fine weather to recharge and renew.

The academic structure initiative is proceeding apace, and we are now officially a Department in the College of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences. As part of this process, the proposal to merge Family Social Sciences in Human Ecology with Community Health Sciences has been approved in secret ballot votes by both Departments, and by the Faculty Councils of Human Ecology with Community Health Sciences and Medicine/Health Sciences. In addition, the Senate Policy and Planning Committee (SPPC) of the University of Manitoba has reviewed the proposal favourably, and it was approved by the Senate Executive Committee on June

11th. The proposal will be considered by the full Senate at a meeting on June 25th, and if approved there, will go to the Board of Governors for final approval, most likely in September. The exact implementation date would need to be determined, but we may need over the next few months to begin planning for how the changes can be incorporated into graduate and undergraduate program offerings in CHS for the academic year 2015-16.

We are also navigating our way through the first year of the new curriculum for Med III in undergraduate medical education, and so far have not hit too many rocks (sorry for the nautical allusion). We’re looking forward to the UGME curriculum going live for Med I in August, as well as for Med IV. The pre-clerkship years will look very different, with many more teaching hours overall for CHS, but spread out over two years, and not crammed into the

University of Manitoba,

first block of Med I, as has been the case for several years. The new curriculum will create challenges, but also opportunities. As many of you have heard, Gladys Stewart, our long-standing UGME coordinator, is planning to retire at the end of September, so we will be soon be in recruitment mode for this important position. I would like to personally thank Gladys for her great work over the past 15 years, and a formal event will be scheduled in her honor in the Fall.

Please review the information within on the upcoming International Indigenous Health Conference, to be held in Winnipeg from October 5-10, and hosted by the Manitoba Network Environment for Aboriginal Health Research (NEAHR), along with the International Network in Indigenous Health Knowledge and Development. This will be an exciting conference, and it is an honour that this biennial conference is being held in Winnipeg in 2014. I encourage everyone to attend.

Congratulations to Evelyn Forget and Tracie Afifi, who recently received important career achievement awards described below, as well as to Natalie Riediger, Yao Nie and Audrey Swift, who have received important research and teaching awards.

And finally, on a sombre note, we offer our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Carole Beaudoin, who passed away on June 7 after a lengthy battle with illness. Carole was a member of the academic staff of CHS for many years and made important and valued contributions to our teaching program and to supervising graduate students. Carole was the Chief of Laboratory Surveillance and Epidemiology at the National Microbiology Laboratory, and was engaged in a number of successful research collaborations, both at the NML and with colleagues in CHS and nationally. Although she had to confront the prospect of a terminal illness at far too young an age, she did so with great spirit, courage, and determination. Our thoughts go out to her husband Scott and son Justin.

Mincome was an experimental Canadian basic income project that was conducted in Dauphin during the 1970s. The project, funded jointly by the Manitoba provincial government and the Canadian federal government, ran from 1974 to 1979. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether a guaranteed, unconditional annual income caused disincentive to work for the recipients, and how great such a disincentive would be. Dr. Forget found that only new mothers and teenagers worked substantially less: mothers with newborns because they wanted to stay at home longer with their babies; and teenagers because they were not under as much pressure to support their families, which actually resulted in more teenagers graduating from school. In addition, those who continued to work were given more opportunities to choose what type of work they did. Dr. Forget also found that in the period that Mincome was administered, hospital visits dropped by 8.5 percent, with fewer incidences of work-related injuries, and fewer emergency room visits from car accidents and domestic abuse. Additionally, there was a reduction in rates of psychiatric hospitalisation, and in the number of mental illness-related consultations with health professionals.

Dr. Patricia J. Martens received the Emmet Hall Memorial Lectureship for the Canadian Association of Health Services and Policy Research (CAHSPR) conference, May 13-15, 2014 Sponsored by the Hall Foundation, the lecturer is nominated on the basis of outstanding contributions to the health ideals articulated by Justice Hall: equity, fairness, justice and efficiency.

Voices in Indigenous Health: From the Wisdom of the Elders to the Stories of the Youth 5 - 10 October 2014

The Conference is supported by the College of Medicine, Community Health Sciences, and the University of Manitoba Travel & Conference Sponsorship Program as well as the Manitoba NEAHR Program.

The International Network in Indigenous Health Knowledge and Development (INIHKD) in partnership with Manitoba Network Environment for Aboriginal Health Research (NEAHR) are proud to host the upcoming International Indigenous Health Conference in 2014. This conference builds on the INIKHD’s international gathering held every two years that is dedicated to improving the lives of Indigenous peoples globally through Indigenous and community-led research, health services, and workforce development. This year’s conference will include a focus on Indigenous health research in true collaboration, and mentoring of new investigators and graduate students.

In Winnipeg, Manitoba an estimated 600 people, all with the goal of sharing their knowledge in order to develop sustainable solutions, creating the ability to recover from the disparities in health, education, and socio-economic circumstances experienced by Indigenous populations around the world will come together. Community members, health care providers, policy makers, students, and researchers will gather to examine issues surrounding Indigenous health. Leadership by Indigenous academics and community members in the planning and programming of the conference remains fundamental to its success.

The INIHKD creates a place for collaboration and the exchange of ideas, models and experiences in 1) Education, Training, and Workforce; 2) Health Services; and 3) Research Activities. This gathering provides opportunities to learn from each other, to stimulate research, and strengthen and expand the international knowledge translation system. Participants

translate new knowledge from the research setting to policy makers in a real world setting in order to support Indigenous leadership and initiatives and work toward healthier peoples and more effective services. Stories and experiences from all are welcomed.

The Manitoba NEAHR has focused on promoting partnerships in community based Indigenous health research, connecting universities, and Indigenous organisations and communities in research and training, and mentoring undergrad and graduates students. Together, the NEAHR and ACADRE centre in Manitoba have been developing opportunities for training and partnerships in Indigenous health research for over ten years. Working jointly, INIHKD and Manitoba NEAHR will be engaging researchers, students, and community representatives in four days of knowledge exchange and development.

The aims of the conference are to provide a means for Indigenous communities and Indigenous academics to:

• develop standards that ensure true collaboration and Indigenous leadership and participation at all levels of research;

• exchange ideas, models, and experiences about health services delivery, health determinants, and health systems;

• encourage bi-directional learning, share approaches, knowledge, and experiences and encourage exchanges in the teaching of health staff involved in the delivery of health care services with and for Indigenous peoples;

• foster partnerships in, and exchange information about, basic and applied research and workforce education and training, with emphasis on models which facilitate enhancement in health care delivery and improved health gains;

• share policy approaches to Indigenous health that have been adopted in each country, evaluate the various approaches, and provide information to policy makers; and

• foster mentoring relationships and exchanges of researchers and students.

Community Engagement

CanU Reach Pilot

Fifteen students from Sister Macnamara School visited Bannatyne to participate in hands-on, interprofessional health sciences workshops, designed and facilitated by medical, dentistry, occupational therapy, and pharmacy students.

Shilpa Alex, a first year medical student wanted to get involved with youth attending area schools and came up with the REACH idea. Alex recruited students from other colleges on campus and designed interactive sessions for all youth attending.

The sessions were similar to CanU programs, where inner Winnipeg youth attend UM Fort Garry campus for fourteen sessions over the school year. Plans are underway to deliver a CanU REACH program beginning in October 2014. Students studying at Bannaytne will be recruited to facilitate sessions for youth from four schools in the community.

Community Health Information and Research Partnership (CHIRP)

Bannatyne graduate students have been working on developing a framework for a campus community centre where community-based organisations could access university resources, such as research and program evaluation. CHIRP came together over a year ago and meet regularly to develop the framework this centre. Students involved in this initiative recently presented their progress and findings with delegates attending the Community University Conference in Victoria, BC in May 2014. Students receive co-curricular recognition for participation in CHIRP.

Summer Programs

Several Community Engagement initiatives coincide with summer:

CanU Reach Pilot - Aoril 2014



June 2014 No. 51


• Basketball for Inner City Kids – in June, 520 basketballs will be presented to graduating grade 6 students from several community schools

• SWISH – The 7-week basketball program will begin July 5 in Parking Lot E

• Biomedical Youth Program (BYP) – this summer, BYP will take its summer science

camps on the road and deliver day-camps to youth from Moose Lake, Cranberry Portage, and Flin Flon. The camps take place first week in July. CHS staff has worked with community schools and BYP volunteers to develop the curriculum for these northern sessions.

Biomedical Youth Program

Once againthe Biomedical Youth Program in partnership with the Winnipeg School

Division (WSD) hosted the WSD 44th Annual Science Fair at the College of Medicine, Bannatyne Ctampus on the 9th of April. More than 400 Grade 4-12 students presented their scientific skills and projects. Some of our graduate students and faculty members were volunteer judges. The Sisler Science Squad provided excitement with demonstrations of

interactive science activities within a play during the opening ceremonies.

The BYP in partnership with the Bio-Rad Biotechnology Explorer Program organised and WSD delivered a free professional development workshop for Manitoba Science Teachers. This workshop focused on DNA bar coding technique, which teachers can use to integrate hands-on molecular biology laboratory activities into their biology lessons.



NEAHR New Investigator — Dr. Mary Jane McCallum has published a book:

Indigenous Women, Work, and History: 1940-1980 (University of Manitoba Press)

When dealing with Indigenous womens history we are conditioned to think about women as private-sphere figures, circumscribed by the home, the reserve, and the community. Moreover, in many ways

Indigenous men and women have been cast in static, pre-modern, and one-dimensional identities, and

their twentieth century experiences reduced to a singular story of decline and loss.

In Indigenous Women, Work, and History, historian Mary Jane Logan McCallum rejects both of these long-standing conventions by presenting case studies of Indigenous domestic servants, hairdressers, community health representatives, and nurses working in “modern Native ways” between 1940 and 1980.

By placing the history of these modern workers within a broader historical context of Aboriginal education and health, federal labour programs, post-war Aboriginal economic and political developments, and Aboriginal professional organisations, McCallum challenges us to think about Indigenous women’s history in entirely new ways.

Mary Jane Logan McCallum is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at University of Winnipeg.
