The pace of the program makes you feel like your drowning, plus the disorganized schedule and content delivery makes it very likely that you will burn out at some point. The schedule alternates every other week and even then class times may not be consistent which makes planning for things outside of school like a part time job, hard. The current microbiology professor is rude and unprofessional and has no business being a teacher. You need a minimum of 60% in each of the theory and lab components of each course to move onto the next semester.
I wouldn’t recommend doing this program.

They recently increased their class size to 92 this year (which they have never done before) which further increases the disorganization. I wouldn’t recommend doing this program.
They are also the only school in canada that makes you do simulated clinical which is hell. You know how health care programs make you pay tuition while working at a hospital and not getting paid for it aka clinical placement? Well someone at Michener once decided they can do even better than that. So basically you loose your entire summer doing a simulated clnical placement. You get to pay tuition to do useless things in the lab while you could be out working and making money! Yay!
Oh and they also pump out way too many grads in the currently saturated job market, so that a lot of them have to come back and learn a new profession.
Clinical staff at the hospitals (learning sites) are not eager to teach. Most are not interested to teach at all (they’re not paid to teach). Some bully students and treat them unfairly but no students will/can complain because they want to graduate. There’s no one to protect the students from bully/abuse. This is a huge problem and it happens way too much. There are clinical educators who treat students as slaves and make them do all the tedious and dirty work, but don’t really teach them the actual learning competencies. They would yell at students like slaves in front of a bunch of patients at busy times. Being a student at clinical sites is like being a slave with no talking back if you want a chance to graduate.
The weekend MLA course that they cancelled will not run again until 8 months from the original date. They would rather not lose out on money than even consider the lives of their students and how this last minute change might affect them. No other solutions were offered except for a “sorry for the inconvenience.”
Not to mention one of the MLA instructors was completely unprofessional. She was knowledgable in her field, but her person hygiene was terrible. She was more concerned when her next smoke break would be rather than help a student trying to practice phlebotomy on another classmate.
