Six University of Manitoba students complete Indigenous health research summer internship

Six University of Manitoba undergraduates gained hands-on health research experience through the PIKE-Net 2026 Undergraduate Summer Research Internship, a 13-week May–August program with mentorship, workshops and cultural teachings. Oji-Cree nursing student Isabelle Pakoo strengthened breastfeeding knowledge and support for Inuit families with a pamphlet and resource map, and former intern Mackenzie Chartrand is now doing a master's studying endometriosis among First Nations people who menstruate in Winnipeg.

Training the next generation of Indigenous health researchers — directly relevant to Manitoba's health workforce pipeline.
