Welcome to Michener
O ur goal at The Michener Institute of Education at UHN is to create a healthier world
through teaching and learning. This means that we use practical and clinical education
to train the highest quality health care professionals and show our students how to make
a real difference in patients’ lives. Collaboration, ingenuity, diversity and compassionate care
are at the heart of what we teach at Michener. I can’t wait for you to see this for yourself on
your first day as a Michener student!
Over the past 60 years, Michener has gone through many transitions. In 1958, Dr. Diana
DR. BRIAN HODGES
Schatz founded what was then the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology in the basement Executive Vice-President, Education
of Toronto General Hospital as a response to the professional needs of health care and Chief Medical Officer
practitioners and to encourage a more meaningful learning experience. Today, Dr. Schatz’s
vision still rings true since we partnered with UHN in 2016 and became the first school
in Canada to integrate with a hospital network. This partnership has helped us translate
front-line clinical experience and research into curriculum so that you graduate ready for
the workplace.
As health care technologies and patient needs evolve, we are expected to balance more in
our careers than ever before. At Michener, we will help you face the weighty expectations
placed on health care workers head-on because our passion to support students goes
beyond the classrooms and labs. Michener student life will show you the value of connecting
with and learning from peers. Health care is about partnerships, both inside and outside
the clinical setting. This is a key value at Michener, and one that students carry with them
throughout their journey here.
Your path to success begins at Michener. We look forward to an exciting future together.
Dr. Brian Hodges Med, PhD, MD, FRCPC
Executive VP Education and Chief Medical Officer, UHN

History of
Michener
T he Michener Institute’s history of innovation goes back
to 1958 with a Medical Laboratory Technology pilot
program founded by Dr Diana Michener Schatz at Toronto
General Hospital.
In 1966, formal classes started at what was then known
as the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology with the
financial support of the Ontario Ministry of Health.
In 1972, the institution moved to its present location at
222 St. Patrick Street in downtown Toronto close to major
teaching hospitals. In 1990, the name was changed to The
Michener Institute to honour the late Governor General,
Roland Michener, and was later renamed The Michener
Institute of Applied Health Sciences.
In 2016, The Michener Institute integrated with University
Health Network (UHN), the first partnership of its kind
in Canada, and was named The Michener Institute of
Education at UHN with a new focus on teaching and
learning across five campuses.
Today, close to 300 students graduate from Michener each
year, supported by more than 150 faculty who are experts
in the health professions we teach.
