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 Schatz founded what was then the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology in the basement of Toronto General Hospital as a response to the professional needs of health care 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.

DR. BRIAN HODGES Executive Vice-President, Education and Chief Medical Officer

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.

What Makes Michener Unique

A

s the only publicly funded school in Canada dedicated solely to training applied health professionals, and as part of UHN, Michener provides a unique and integrated learning experience.

Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) Michener has a unique approach to admissions where topranked applicants are invited to a mandatory Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). The MMI candidates are rated on various

non-academic skills, such as problem-solving, teamwork, empathy and communication. The intent is to admit students who can be an integral and successful member of an interprofessional health care team. The MMI score is calculated into the overall admissions score.

Interprofessional Education The World Health Organization recognizes how important it is for health professions to learn about, from and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.

Michener students from all programs are given the opportunity to collaborate with peers from other health care disciplines and enrich their team-based practice.

Simulation-based Education Each of Michener’s programs feature simulation as a core learning experience. Simulation is a hands-on way to transfer knowledge into practice in a safe but highly realistic environment prior to clinical placement. Students discover how to communicate effectively with patients and in teams, and practice the technical and non-technical skills that are central to the health professions in a way that promotes critical thinking and learning from mistakes. Trial and error in simulation is the key to safe and effective practice in the real world.

Communication and Collaboration Skills Michener is preparing the health force of the future by placing a strong emphasis on developing communication and collaboration skills, both for lab-based and patient-facing programs. In Michener’s Simulated Participant Program, specially trained actors portray anything from an angry patient to an underperforming co-worker who needs coaching and compassion. Whatever the communication scenario, simulation provides the environment for students to demonstrate person-centred practice.

Dedicated Faculty / Small Classes Most Michener faculty are regulated health care professionals and educators in their respective fields and are committed to the success of their students. Small class sizes mean more hands-on learning, which gives students the opportunity for daily interaction with faculty.

Quality Improvement Modules All students complete Quality Improvement modules offered in collaboration with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) as part of their program. Topics covered include: • Fundamentals of improvement • Models for improvement • How quality improvement works in real health care settings • The human side of quality improvement • Tools for improvement Working with Seniors Working with Seniors is an intensive week-long training that launches in the summer semester, combining flexible online learning modules with simulated experiences. The training includes interactions with seniors, participating in scenarios and wearing the Sakamoto Aging Simulation Suit (a frail aging simulation suit). The suit gives students the opportunity to experience the effects of aging in everyday life. The Working with Seniors curriculum gives students the skills, knowledge and confidence to work effectively with older adults.

Caring Safely UHN’s commitment to safety is integrated into Michener’s culture through Caring Safely education and training that focuses on eliminating preventable harm to patients and ensuring safety in the workplace.

Kathy K. Year 1 Anesthesia Assistant Student

“Through the simulation sessions in my program, I learned strategies to help me ask important questions in the operating room and I gained the confidence to know that I’m prepared for this role.”

THE M I CHENER I NS TITUTE OF EDUC ATI O N AT UH N

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Michener’s Anesthesia Assistant program consists of three semesters. The cohort starts in September with a comprehensive online course over the first 13 weeks. During Week 14, the students attend an on-site five-day residency at The Michener Institute that includes sessions and evaluations.

In the second term, the program consists of online collaborative learning. Students are on site one day per week for 14 weeks, plus a 10-day residency that includes simulations and evaluations in the classroom and Simulation Centre.

The clinical semester is offered following successful completion of semesters one and two. The student completes competencies and rotations in adult, pediatric, obstetrical, regional and cardiac anesthesia at their designated base site. When the base site cannot offer all rotations, Michener will arrange for external rotations in these areas, which are up to two weeks in length. All students will complete at least one external rotation.

This program is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation for Respiratory Therapy Education (CoARTE).

WHAT WILL I STUDY? • How to evaluate the pre, peri and postoperative patient • How to perform procedural sedation • How to manage special anesthetic considerations ABOUT THE PROFESSION Anesthesia Assistants (AA) work in operating rooms as mid-level anesthesia providers and are part of Anesthesia Care Teams (ACT) in many facilities across Canada. The AA works under the direct supervision of the anesthesiologist and under the authority of medical directives. Significant growth in the profession is anticipated due to the aging population and associated rise in surgical procedures, including those outside of the operating room, such as interventional radiography and catheterization labs.

WHERE CAN I WORK? Most Anesthesia Assistants work in the operating rooms of a hospital, but they can also be found in post-operative care areas, pain clinics and special procedure rooms.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

ABOUT THE PROFESSION MRI is an imaging modality that creates images of the body using radiofrequency waves in conjunction with extremely powerful magnets. This non-invasive technique relies on the magnetic properties of atoms (rather than radiation) and provides valuable diagnostic information to aid in patient management. In recent years, MRI has undergone remarkable growth and is now widely used.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) program is a part-time program designed with the working medical radiation sciences professional in mind. This program consists of both didactic and clinical components spread across five semesters. The didactic courses are offered online. The clinical practicum consists of a mandatory five-day Readiness for Clinical course offered on-site at Michener to ensure that students are fully prepared to start their full-time clinical practicum. Graduates are eligible to write the national certification examinations administered by the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT). Certification qualifies graduates to work across Canada and allows them to apply for registration as an MRI Technologist with the College of Medical Radiation Technologists of Ontario (CMRTO).

MRI technologists use their communication, patient-care and collaborative skills to interact with patients and other members of the health care team. They are responsible for the safety of patients and other staff members in the Magnetic Resonance environment. Using their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology along with the principles of MRI physics and methodology, MRI technologists operate MRI scanners to create images of a patient’s body tissues, which physicians then use as an aid to diagnose patients.

The skill of the MRI technologist is extremely important in obtaining high-quality diagnostic images. MRI technologists work under the guidance of radiologists.

Credential Earned Graduate Certificate Program Length 5 semesters over 2 years (part-time) - must complete the program within 3 years of being admitted Program Delivery Online Start Date September 2020 Application Deadline June 14, 2020
