The Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences

The Michener Institute of Education at University Health Network, or simply Michener, is a specialist post-secondary institution in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Michener was founded by Diana Michener Schatz as the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology in 1958 with a pilot program in medical laboratory technology at the Toronto General Hospital. After years of expanding its programs in applied health sciences, the institute was relocated to its present campus in 1972 at 222 St. Patrick Street and was renamed "The Michener Institute" after Schatz's father, Roland Michener (former Governor General of Canada), in 1990. The institute is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and governed by the University Health Network (UHN), Canada's largest publicly-funded health care organization.
