Overview
The Michener Institute of Education at UHN is a specialized public institute in Toronto, Ontario, devoted exclusively to applied health sciences education and operating as an academic partner within the University Health Network (UHN) and Ontario's healthcare system.
Instruction is delivered in English. The institute offers advanced diploma programs in clinical health science disciplines such as medical laboratory sciences, diagnostic cytology, genetics technology, and respiratory therapy, combining classroom study with clinical placements at partner healthcare sites.
It also offers a joint Radiation Therapy program delivered together with the University of Toronto, alongside its advanced diplomas, awarding a joint Bachelor of Science in Medical Radiation Sciences with the University of Toronto for that program. Beyond full-time diploma studies, Michener runs a continuing education division offering part-time courses and certificate programs for working healthcare professionals looking to update or extend their clinical skills, in areas such as diabetes education, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Admission to its full-time advanced diploma programs is processed through Ontario's centralized college application portal, ontariocolleges.ca.
As an institute embedded within a major academic hospital network rather than a standalone university or general college, Michener suits students and working clinicians seeking focused, practice-oriented training in allied health and medical technology fields, with direct exposure to hospital-based clinical environments as part of their education.
