State of the Art Education
At Canada’s only post-secondary institution devoted exclusively to educating applied health professionals you will experience a truly unique learning environment. Small class sizes, dedicated faculty and an innovative curriculum combine to provide you with an unparalleled education.
Simulation-Enhanced Learning
The opportunity to practice in a simulated hospital environment better prepares students for what they will encounter when entering clinical practice.
This simulated environment is safe and controlled, allowing students to gain confidence and comfort with the application of their knowledge and skills. At the same time, faculty can observe students’ behaviours and skills and provide valuable feedback.
Interprofessional Education
The Michener Institute has an excellent reputation for providing students with a solid understanding of their roles as health care professionals. We are taking this a step further by building greater knowledge of, and respect for, the roles of other health care professionals.
Students will have the opportunity to practice communication, critical thinking, crisis management and collaboration with students from other health care disciplines. This will enable them to enter the health care workforce as part of a team that collaborates in the best interests of patient care.
Assessment
Being a great health professional is more than being the best at absorbing and recalling information. Thus, a fair assessment of your knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes should include more than just multiple choice tests.
You will be assessed on your performance in multiple ways, which will provide you with feedback on both your discipline-specific and interprofessional skills.
Small Class Sizes
Our focus on hands-on learning means class sizes remain small, giving you the opportunity to interact individually with faculty on a daily basis.
