Health Care is Rapidly Changing
For 60 years, lifelong learning and professional development have been at the heart of our work at The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. Our humble beginnings in the basement of Toronto General Hospital in 1958 was the spark lit by our founder, Dr. Diana Michener Schatz, to provide medical laboratory technologists in Toronto and the Province of Ontario with professional development that would establish them as critical contributors to health care delivery, quality and safety. Today, as part of Canada’s largest teaching and research hospital (University Health Network, or UHN), the Department of Continuing Education (CE) at Michener continues in Dr. Schatz’s tradition by reinforcing our commitment to health education by creating programs for you – the busy professionals we rely on to deliver compassionate and safe care. As Canada’s only “school within a hospital,” we are positioned better than ever to bring cutting edge and meaningful learning to a variety of health care providers across the country and the world.
At Michener, we believe in teaching and learning for a healthier world, and we collaborate interprofessionally with educators and practitioners to bring you courses and programs that demonstrate this philosophy. We also recognize the importance of flexibility to adult learners who lead busy lives and careers. Michener is excited to partner with you in your lifelong learning by designing and delivering programs you can participate in anywhere and anytime online, including a suite of continuous, self-study courses you can complete at your own pace as you accelerate your career goals.
This year, we are also pleased to have launched many new ways for you to stay connected with us on social media. You can follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up-to-date on what’s new in health care education, stay connected to exciting news from CE at Michener and, most importantly, for us to hear from you about your interests, successes and suggestions for our team. We welcome you to our 2019-20 academic year and we wish you success in your programs of choice and in your career aspirations. The CE team at Michener looks forward to partnering with you to achieve your continuing education and professional development goals.
