WELCOME TO CONTINUING EDUCATION AT MICHENER

Inthe news we are reminded daily of the challenges within our health care system as we continue to deal with the aftermath of the pandemic. Human health resource shortages appear to be the number one issue. The stress is palpable in departments across the province and the country.

Michener CE is actively working to relieve some of this stress. We are offering professional development courses and programs for new health leaders, tutorials, and refresher courses for those who may be returning to a field, bridging programs for new Canadians with international experience, as well as mental health and specialty nursing programs, and micro credentials that can deliver immediate skills and competencies.

Our focus for 2023-2024 is to support our health care professionals and professions with education that fits within busy schedules, meets the needs within the field, and provides the skills needed right now.

Michener CE will continue to work collaboratively with our health care partners and our learners to provide the education that is needed today. Michener is the first educational institution that is integrated into a hospital network, and we plan to continue to build upon this relationship for all the value and opportunity that it provides.

An exciting year is ahead of us, and the CE team is ready and willing to share educational opportunities, develop new ideas, and plan for what will come next. Thank you for your continued support. We cannot do our job without you!

Sincerely,

Jane Mattson Director, Continuing Education The Michener Institute of Education at UHN
