Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba

  • Corporate body
  • 1883-

The Manitoba Medical College was established in 1883. The Manitoba Medical College remained independent from the University of Manitoba until the two amalgamated in 1919 and became the Faculty of Medicine.

Department of Community Health Sciences

  • Corporate body
  • 1987-

Community Health Sciences 1987- Sanitary Science / Med Jurisprudence 1883-1887, then Hygiene, then Hygiene / Public Health until 1937 when it became Social & Preventive Med; this, in Apr '87 (Board of Governors, May 21), was joined with the Northern Medical Unit and the Office of International Health as the Dept of Community Health Sciences. In 1990 the Centre for Health Care Policy & Evaluation was established. As of 1999, specific units were: Alcohol & Tobacco Research, Biostatistical Consulting, Hildes Northern Medical, Health Policy & Evaluation, Northern Hlth Research, Occupat'l & Environmental Medicine.

SPM had existed as a small department within the medical school since the 1950s but had no full-time faculty members until the mid-1960s. Its first full-time Head, the late Dr. David Fish, was appointed in 1973. He began the recruitment of research scholars and scientists supported by career awards and lay the groundwork for SPM as a research-intensive department. A parallel development during the 1970s was the establishment and growth of the Northern Medical Unit (NMU) under the leadership of the late Dr. Jack Hildes. The NMU provided medical services to Aboriginal communities in the Keewatin region of the NWT and northern Manitoba. It was due to Dr. Hildes' foresight and energy that the University of Manitoba became an international leader in Aboriginal health care.

Dr. Hildes held the title of Associate Dean responsible for the Division of Community Medicine, which incorporated the NMU, the community medicine residency program and also undergraduate teaching in family and community medicine. It changed its name to the Division of Community and Northern Medicine (CNM) in 1984.

The creation of CHS in 1987 recognizes the confluence of interests and activities between the two units and aims to create a well-rounded department which excels in all three areas of teaching, research and service. Dr. Brian Postl became the first Head of the new department, a post he held until 1993. He was succeeded by Dr. Michael Moffatt, who served from 1993-1998, Dr. Kue Young from 1998 to 2002, Dr. John O'Neil from 2002 - 2007, Dr. Lawrence Elliott from 2007 to 2008 and Dr. Sharon MacDonald from 2008 to present.

Winnipeg Gay and Lesbian Resource Centre

  • Corporate body
  • 1983-1999

The Manitoba Gay and Lesbian Archives collection is the result of concerted efforts by the Winnipeg Gay/Lesbian Resource Centre (est.1983) staff to compile records about Manitoba’s LGBTTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Two-Spirit and Queer) history. The Archives, established in 1988, was overseen by the Manitoba Gay/Lesbian Archives Committee, a group composed of academics, community members and activists. Primary objectives of the Archives was to preserve the documentary, photographic, and electronic heritage of gay and lesbian Manitobans and to support the research and study of such a collection by scholars and the public. This material was largely collected and accumulated from the donations of local Winnipeg LGBTTQ organizations dating back to the early 1970s. Organizations such as the University of Manitoba student organization Gays for Equality (est. 1973), the Oscar Wilde Memorial Society (est. 1980), Council on Homosexuality and Religion (est. 1978) and Project Lambda (est. 1977) figure prominently in the history of the Winnipeg LGBTTQ community, thus contributing a great deal to the archival content. The largely volunteer staff, namely Chris Vogel and Kenneth Steffenson, of the Resource Centre received archival training over a five year period from the Association of Manitoba Archivists. This training formed the accessioning and cataloguing of the archival material in an efficient and systematized way, leading to an established archival holding recognized by many professional associations and archives in Canada. The archival material was consistently expanded through an active collection policy which advertised in newspapers and gay journals asking the community for records, specifically in the form of oral interviews. An oral history project was undertaken in 1989 by the Resource Centre, through a sponsored grant from the Provincial Archives of Manitoba, to collect the histories of gay men and women who were active in Manitoba prior to 1970. This project provides an important example of the community response to maintaining a consistent record of LGBTTQ history in Manitoba. For scholars, the oral history project is an important groundwork which will be expanded with future efforts to continue to collect oral histories from the 1970s onward.

The Winnipeg Gay/Lesbian Resource Centre was founded in 1983 by the concerted efforts of the Winnipeg LGBTTQ community to raise funds and establish a safe and friendly meeting space. As vocalized by Project Lambda, the goal was to 'provide counseling for gays, a medical centre, a library with positive gay literature, a book shop, a TV room, rooms for lectures and discussions as well as offices for gay organizations.' Fundraisers held at The Old Fellows' Temple on Kennedy Street by various organizations contributed to the realization of this goal. The original location of the Winnipeg Gay Centre was at 275 Sherbrook Street, next door to the gay community space/bar, Giovanni’s Room. The Centre officially began when the campus gay organization Gays for Equality relocated there. In July of 1988 the Winnipeg Gay/Lesbian Resource Centre moved out of Giovanni’s Room to new offices at 222 Osborne Street. This new location made room for the growing archival collection and the intent to meet the community's needs. In September of 1999 the Winnipeg Gay/Lesbian Resource Centre received a name change to Rainbow Resource Centre and relocated to 170 Scott Street.

Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science

  • Corporate body
  • 1883-

The department of anatomy was established in 1883 and in 1996 changed its name to the department of human anatomy and cell science.

The Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science is an essential component for the teaching of educational programs in (but not limited to) the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Medical Rehabilitation. Human Anatomy is complementary to the basic medical sciences providing a full spectrum of medical knowledge to future generations of medical health professionals using accredited research and teaching techniques.

Human Anatomy provides expertise in many disciplines and sub-disciplines; Human Anatomy is a foundation of medical training and encourages young individuals to pursue a career in Human Anatomy research and teaching. The Human Anatomy Department recognizes teaching and research as equally important, and encourages and supports the introduction of innovative educational programs delivered to the faculties and the University in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary format.

The Department consists of faculty members, and cross-appointed faculty members each of which are experts in one or more sub-disciplines of anatomy. Quality teaching programs are enriched by scholarly pursuits of our department members who are engaged in research of the highest quality in the following areas: cardiovascular science, cancer biology and neurosciences. Graduate students are provided with the opportunity to use a variety of contemporary techniques such as: autoradiography, light and electron microscopy. 3D imaging, morphometrics, tissue culture and transplantation. immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, radioimmunoassay, electrophoresis , transgenics, molecular biology, magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy.

Department of Biochemistry and Medical Genetics

  • Corporate body
  • 1918-

The department of biochemistry was part of the department of physiology from 1913-1917.

Biochemistry, as a separate department, dates back to 1919 when it was formed as one of the pre-clinical departments of the newly established Faculty of Medicine of the University of Manitoba. Professor A.T. Cameron was appointed as the first Head of the Department. The history of human genetics in Manitoba dates back to 1944 when Dr. Bruce Chown, with Marion Lewis, established the Winnipeg Rh Laboratory. Dr. John Hamerton, later to become head of the first independent Human Genetics department, came to Winnipeg in 1969 to replace Dr. Irene Uchida, a pioneering cytogeneticist. Increasing complementarity of the research interests of many members of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Department of Human Genetics, led to the merging of the two departments in 1998. Dr. Louise Simard is the current head.

BMG is located on the Bannatyne Campus, the main medical and health sciences campus of the University of Manitoba. In addition to laboratories, common research support facilities and equipment are available to our faculty and students. The department is home to biochemistry, molecular biological sciences, and medical genetics expertise, practiced in an intellectually enriching research and teaching environment in the Faculties of Medicine and Graduate Studies.

Excellent and dedicated faculty members work closely with graduate students, post doctoral fellows, residents in genetics, and clinical geneticists to advance our understanding of complex and diverse biological processes. BMG also participates in an accredited Royal College Training Program in Medical Genetics as well as Canadian College of Medical Geneticists fellowship training. Our faculty are locally, nationally, and internationally recognized and have received numerous prestigious awards for their accomplishments in teaching and research. Moreover, our faculty members contribute significantly in providing health care services to individuals and families affected with genetic and metabolic disorders.
