The Michener Institute for Applied Health Science

 After years of expansion through more programs offered, the institute was relocated to its present campus in 1972 and was renamed in 1990 "The Michener Institute" after Roland Michener, former Governor General of Canada.      The institute is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and offers certification in various medical technologies, including chiropody, respiratory therapy, medical imaging, radiation, and genetics. Some of its programs are joint programs offered in partnership with the University of Toronto and  Laurentian University. In 2008, the Michener Institute celebrated 50 years in applied health science education.
