elcome back to the new academic
year. Our large group of new
graduate students is settling in, and
the new UGME curriculum in second
year is underway, so that we are now
implementing the full UGME curriculum
for the first time. We also have our
first group of undergraduate students
(as opposed to undergraduate
medical students), those enrolled in
the BSc in Human Ecology degree
program; there is a total of about 200
students across all four years. In
addition, a working group has started
to meet to plan for an expansion
and reconfiguration of the Bachelor
of Health Studies degree program,
which along with the Bachelor of
Health Sciences degree program,
makes up the Interdisciplinary Health
Program.

I am pleased to announce that the
search for the two new tenure-track positions is complete. The
two successful candidates are Dr. Christine Kelly, currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa, and Dr. Andrew Hatala,
currently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Saskatchewan. The anticipated start date for each of them is 1 January 2016. I
am appending short bios for each of them below, and we look
forward to welcoming them into the CHS team. Faculty recruitment
processes are continuing for a tenure-track position at MCHP, a
contingent position at MFN CAHR, a Canada Research Chair Tier 2
at MCHP, and a Canada Research Chair Tier 2 with the Centre for
Global Public Health.
Christine Kelly, PhD, is presently a Banting Postdoctoral Fellow
in the Institute of Feminist and Gender Studies at the University
of Ottawa. Informed by feminist disability scholarship and using
qualitative methods, her research considers the politics of care

strategies of resilience and mental health
among First Nations and Metis youth. His PhD dissertation research involved a
comparative analysis of the relationship
between Q’eqchi’ Maya traditional
healer conceptions of mental illness and
Western conceptions outlined in the DSM-5,
including how this relationship or lack thereof
impacts health policy and practice in Belize. He also has graduate and undergraduate
teaching experience, and his published
works and research focus on Indigenous
healing and epistemology, Indigenous
nosology of mental illness and disorder,
culture and spirituality, and resilience

Bold Ideas 2015-2016 moves beyond just
a story or list of facts – it showcases ideas
that take certain evidence and draws a larger
conclusion for the benefit of family, community,

Bold Ideas provides diversity in topics and
speakers and helps us to:
• Contribute to new or extend existing
faculty and student scholarly thinking and
networks,
• Ask new questions,
• Think local when a particular topic cannot
be addressed globally,
• Think global where we reflect outward so
that other communities can learn from our
community,
• Reflect inward when we learn or adapt
from the world not known or familiar to us
(glocally).
We invite speakers from our faculty, medical
residents, research fellows, research associates,

Nations
Six volunteers from College of Medicine,
School of Med Rehab and Faculty of Science
travelled up north to facilitate hands-on
science and cultural activities for youth from
Opaskwayak and Mosakahiken Cree Nations
in early July. Thirty youth (gr. 6-9) from OCN
attended a two-day camp at the Oscar Lathlin
Collegiate on the 6th and 7th of July. Some
of the activities included Diabetes, Medical
Simulation and Physical Therapy sessions. The
camp participants and families expressed their
appreciation for the opportunity to participate in
the camp and thanked UM staff/volunteers for

Jeremy Sinclair, community leader, in assisting
CHS staff with registration of participants.
From 8 to 10 Jul, the camp was held at
Mosakahiken Cree Nation for the second year
and was very successful with 30 students also
registered. CHS staff and BYP volunteers
worked with the local school and community
members to assist with accommodations,
registration and logistical support for the
activities. Feedback from community
and participants was positive. Two camp
participants with an interest in FHS programs
visited the Bannatyne campus in August for a
tour and discussion of available programs and
supports for Indigenous students. For both,
it was a first-time experience visiting a postsecondary institution.
