The MLS program at michener is a disorganized shitshow. Most teachers just read off slides. Despite the fast pace of the program, the content they provide isn’t streamlined (100+ powerpoint slides + unnecessary textbook and other readings a week per course). There will be midterms that cover hundreds of slides + textbook readings, with midterms often on the same day or near each other. You are often scrambling to stay on top of course work (typically 6 courses at a semester). There is constant assessments every week ranging from quizzes to practical lab assessments to midterms. There’s often quizzes or assessments due on weekends for some courses.
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.
Michener is no doubt the No.1 college within Ontario. The established reputation is well renowned among most local residents. Don’t trust the reviews in this website. Refer to glassdoor or indeed for more objective reviews.
Definitely try to get into any other school if you can. The programs are very poorly ran and organized. Michener makes you take a lot of painful bs courses so that they can maintain their nflated reputation.
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.
It’s a money grabber. They know how to market themselves and draw students. Be careful and aware of what profession you’re going to get into because a lot of programs they offer have already got a saturated job market (ie, they admit way more students each year than there are jobs out there). Depending on the program you’re in you may find yourself graduated then go back to your previous profession due to lack of job opportunities. Worse part I find was the programs were very unorganized. Clinical coordinators and educators at the hospitals have not very much interest in guiding students’. I don’t blame them because they don’t really get paid by Michener for teaching. I find it extremely unfair for the students though because all of them are eager to learn and become a competent health care professional. Most importantly, students all paid to learn, but Michener failed to provide mentors at clinical sites (hospitals) who are dedicated to teach. There were times where the clinical coordinator (who works at another hospital) was supposed to come teach us at our hospital. She never appeared on the teaching days. We asked Michener’s educator liaison why that is, the response was that the CC works part time at her hospital and her CC position is just a part time (volunteer) of her part time job- no further follow up was done by the school and yet another learning opportuny missed.
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.
Thinking about taking the Medical Lab Technician program through Mishener? I Would not recommend The Michener to ANYONE. Very unorganized. They cancel paid courses less than 2 months before they begin, due to low enrolment. Maybe if you didn’t have 5 instructors for a month weekend course you could still run this course and not loose out on money. The Michener is not considerate of their students lives and have cancelled weekend classes and rescheduled without advanced warning.
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.
Teaching staff is bad. Some think very highly of themselves and aren’t helpful. Lectures are packed full of info and very little guidance for what to study for tests.
Teachers for the Med Lab program are very “catty”. Take behind students back and pick favourites. Also most of the instructors don’t actually know what they are talking about, they read directly off the lecture slides which end up being close to 130 slides. Overall the program is okay, but the facility staff is aweful
Can anybody tell me the timetable in ultrasound full course because I have small kids at home
I’m in the MRS program and having both the UT connections but michener teaching is amazing. While UT has some issues about consistency in grading/bell curving, the professors at michener are VERY fair. Having graduated from another university but taken courses at UT prior to coming to michener, I am very well aware of how much more close-knit the programs are as well as how the professors are much more personal with students. I’m in one of the bigger programs, and with 40 students in the class, almost all our courses are taught by the same group of 10-20 faculty each year and you really built a relationship with them all. Unfortunately, since the school is so small, networking and extra curriculars can be a bit difficult sometimes. Michener is ONE building. This includes the library, gym, cafeteria, housing, lecture rooms, auditorium and faculty offices all in one. Housing can be really competitive to get into if you live nearby and just want the convenience but we have students coming from cities as far as Niagara Falls every day too. Their dedication is intense.
Michener is great
Hi there can you elaborate on the racist part? maybe give an example or scenario? Thanks
The Michener Institute for Applied Health Science is a racist school! I would never recommend this school to anyone for any reason. There are so many other institutions far more worthy than Michener.
