  simple accounting system that allows commercial transactions to take place using a virtual money system without the need for national currency. In the process economic activity is generated when cash is in short supply (as in a recession).

  Knowledge

  Care

  Understanding: \nOur practice philosophy is to provide the best dental treatment in a compassionate

  relaxing environment in which patients' concerns come first. \n\nWe are aware that many people are nervous about dental treatment for many reasons. We see patients who may not have been to a dentist for 10 or 12 years out of fear or shame at what we might say. You will never be judged at our practice! We are psychologically oriented

  with many modalities at our disposal to make you feel secure. For example

  we can provide sedation by oral medication or nitrous oxide (laughing gas). We can also provide hypnosis and acupuncture for relaxation and pain control. \n\nThere is no such thing as a dumb question

  and you will never be judged for the way you feel

  your past experience or your present condition

  whatever that might be. \n\nWe are a general dental practice with emphasis on prevention of decay and gum disease. \n\nOur office is wheelchair accessible and we care for disabled patients. We accept all benefit plans

  including all forms of disability support.

  This course examines the many issues surrounding the health of aboriginal people living in Canada. During the 13 weeks of class

  students will be come to understand the present day health issues of aboriginal peoples from the perspective of their historical and political context and the effects of health care policy. The many highly qualified speakers from the Aboriginal community

  its focus on health and the healing process and its experiential format make this course unique in the university. Optional

  but strongly recommended

  field trips include a \"medicine walk\" on the Six Nations reserve in which students will be able to see firsthand the source of some of the herbal preparations that are used in healing

  and a purification (sweat) lodge ceremony outside the city. The course is enriched by its association between students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Aboriginal Studies program in the Faculty of Arts and many of whom are of Aboriginal origin. Registration is limited to 34 students.
