WELCOME TO THE SCHOOL OF CONTINUING EDUCATION A word from our Executive Director, on behalf of the Senior Management Team at the School of Continuing Education
W
elcome to the School of Continuing Education at Michener/UHN. We are excited to, once again, share with you a diversity of online, hybrid and classroom-based programs from Canada’s only School within a health care network spanning community, primary, hospital, rehabilitation and long-term care.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a ripple effect around the world, across sectors, and certainly in our practice as teachers and administrators. The health professions education and post-secondary education communities have been challenged to accommodate various requirements of physical distancing in adherence to public health and government guidelines. This has included the very daunting task to transitioning a myriad of programs to virtual platforms, and thinking through innovative approaches to facilitate and administer programs where live simulation is critical.
Maria Tassone, MSc, BScPT
Many of our courses and programs in the School of Continuing Education (SCE) have been available online for several years, and this has been our primary mode of delivery. We have, however, needed to think nimbly about how we could continue to bring to our learners essential offerings like life support programs (e.g. ACLS and PALS), or how workshop-based elements in hybrid programming (e.g. Diabetes Educator and Critical Care Nursing) could be virtualized. The program staff and our faculty have worked many hours to help us achieve what seemed both intimidating and impossible at a time when our resources were stretched, and our wellness and resilience were tested by the pandemic. Our SCE family at the UHN hospitals also saw many successes as they navigated the challenges of virtualization. For example, highly social programming like Collaborative Change Leadership was brought online with great success and accolades. Our Conference Services team reimagined their entire model and converted several large, in-person events into online conferences sometimes scaled in the hundreds. This included advising our own internal team to bring the carefully crafted Convergence2021 online. Our International Centre for Education reimagined their Personalized Learning Program to a series of virtual mentorship offerings. During all of this, we welcomed our newest SCE unit member the de Souza Institute, focused on oncology and palliative care, and leveraged their incredible skills in digital education technologies and online learning to advance many new areas of work.

The innovation did not stop there. In the last year, the SCE has been a key partner to hospitals, the Ministry of Health and Ontario Health in their response to the pandemic. Michener, in collaboration with clinical, hospital, long-term care, universities and college partners stood up an education resource in ten days, in anticipation of large-scale pandemic-related redeployments. A year later, this COVIDCareLearning.ca resource hub now has over 14,500 users, and content supporting care providers in hospitals, long-term care, pediatrics, and those supporting vaccination efforts. We aided Ontario Health in building lab capacity through developing a science graduate onboarding program for Ontario and Public Health Ontario Labs. Michener is also a key partner in supporting the rollout of a large project training Resident Support Aides for deployment into long-term care homes. Finally, our Critical Care Nursing program has now been delivered at six GTA hospitals as they build their critical care capacity – a remarkable achievement given the program launched just two years ago with an internal mandate. Needless to say, it has been a busy year. What we’ve learned as a teaching community is that regardless of the circumstance, our continuing education team at Michener/UHN thrive. We relentlessly support and care for students, each other, our wellbeing and resilience, and the systems of care around us. We have learned that the power of collaboration without borders allows us to achieve incredible feats with significant, long-lasting impacts to the health and long-term care communities. The SCE at Michener/UHN has entered a new chapter as we engage our learners and partners with a renewed sense of why we all do what we do, while realizing the true power of Michener’s integration with Canada’s pre-eminent hospital network as we navigate toward a post-pandemic world. I end this note with a heartfelt expression of tremendous gratitude on behalf of our senior leadership and program staff. Thank you all for putting your faith in us at Michener/UHN as you advance your professional development journeys. We wish you the best of luck as we enter a new academic year, and health and safety as we continue to navigate the global pandemic together. Warmly,

ACUTE AND CRITICAL CARE NURSING The Acute Care and Critical Care Nursing Programs at Michener were developed through a unique collaboration between the SCE and the Practice-Based Education at the University Health Network. The program was developed by seasoned acute care and critical care nurses in concert with a team of education specialists and leaders to deliver a learning product that is modern, relevant, and reflective of current practice needs. These programs are taught using a hybrid and spiraled curriculum, delivering core content about body systems through a series of online modules. For each body system, learners are guided through online knowledge components, which is followed up by a clinical practicum, and finally a classroom-based session where the integration of knowledge and practice is facilitated by the course instructor. This approach helps learners to continue building their knowledge and skills throughout the course, and sets learners up for optimal success in their professional practice. Both Acute Care and Critical Care programs have been developed in accordance with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and University’s Registered Nurse Critical Care Nursing Program Standard as well as Critical Care Services Ontario’s Standards for Critical Care Nursing in Ontario (2018).
