The Michener Institute Canada
All full-time programs offered by The Michener Institute include educational preparation as well as clinical education at one or more affiliated clinical sites located throughout Ontario and beyond. Today more than 400 health professionals instruct on a full or part-time basis in the diploma, advanced diploma, certificate and continuing education programs affording Michener students access to a unique resource of teachers and learning material. As a post-secondary, diploma and certificate granting institution, The Michener Institute is one among a few Ontario universities and colleges responding to the education needs in health care. The Michener Institute prides itself on its ability to provide current and innovative health care education and thus aims to address unmet educational requirements rather than duplicating existing programming offered by other post-secondary institutions in and outside of Ontario.

The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences was created to
respond to the educational requirements for health sciences
professionals and for the continuing education of health care
practitioners. A pilot program developed by hospital-based
physicians and medical technologists in 1958 demonstrated the value
of combining learning in an educational environment with clinical
education in a teaching hospital.
