      The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences, founded under the name the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology, 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.

      This approach continues to prove itself valid, and all full-time programs offered by The Michener Institute today include educational preparation as well as clinical education at one or more affiliated clinical sites located throughout Ontario and beyond.

      The Michener Institute formally started classes in temporary quarters in 1966, with the financial support of the Ministry of Health. In 1972 it moved to the present quarters located at 222 St. Patrick Street in downtown Toronto, close to major teaching hospitals. Today more than 400 health professionals instruct on a part-time basis at The Michener Institute, affording Michener students access to a unique resource of clinical teachers and teaching 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.

International Activities at Michener

      The Michener Institute is committed to sharing its expertise in education and health science programming internationally through off-shore educational initiatives, bridging opportunities for international health professionals and accepting international students in most of its diploma, degree/diploma, post-diploma and certificate programs.

Michener Facilities

      If you choose Michener, you get to use state-of-the-art technology in the classroom, laboratory and in the field. In fact, Michener boasts some of the most advanced health science technology on the continent! In addition to a fully equipped anatomy and physiology laboratory, computer facilities and microscopy labs, Michener is home to North America's most advanced radiation therapy lab.

Transportation


      The Michener Institute is conveniently located in downtown Toronto, at the heart of one of North America's most prestigious medical communities. We're a short walk north-west of St. Patrick station, on the University subway line, or you can take the college or Dundas streetcars and exit at McCaul street. If you're coming from outside Toronto, take the GO train to Union station then take the University subway line north to St. Patrick station.
