The Clinical Education portfolio spans all five campuses of The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. Collectively, this portfolio is committed to enabling high quality experiential learning for all clinical learners across the hospitals of UHN. UHN learners span dozens of healthcare professions from many schools and are supported by a team that enables learners throughout their experiential learning i.e.
Wightman-Berris Academy (medical students);
UHN Postgraduate Medical Education (medical residents and fellows);
Learner Services across professions.
As a leading teaching hospital, UHN recognizes that a high-quality learning environment is enabled through exceptional teaching and learning (building skills for teaching and learning through
Clinical Educational Development) individually and collaboratively (Clinical Interprofessional Education and Care). Given the ongoing evolution of Clinical Education, new models of teaching and learning are regularly developed and implemented across The Michener Institute of Education at UHN. For example, The Michener Institute of Education at UHN is a partner in the
Nipissing University Scholar Practitioner Program, an innovative second degree BScN nursing program that is completely embedded within point of care practice settings including UHN.
Teaching and learning across UHN needs to be enabled by current, high-quality knowledge and information expertise; the ability to mobilize knowledge for caring, discovery, learning and decision making is the mandate of our library network. The
UHN Library Network is one of the largest in Canada and includes health sciences academic libraries across all five campuses (including the hospital-based libraries and the school), providing expert information leadership across UHN and beyond.
