The Michener Institute of Education at UHN, or simply Michener, is a specialist post-secondary institution in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Based in Downtown Toronto and governed by the University Health Network (UHN). 

Canada's largest funded healthcare organization, Michener, was founded by Diana Michener Schatz as the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology in 1958 with a pilot program in Medical Laboratory Technology at the Toronto General Hospital.

After years of expansion, the institute was relocated to its present campus in 1972 at 222 St. Patrick Street. It was renamed "The Michener Institute" after Schatz's father, Roland Michener (former Governor General of Canada), in 1990. 

The Ontario Ministry of Health funds the institute. It plays a vital role in anticipating and meeting the changing needs of health consumers, employers, and the health care system; it is the only post-secondary institution in Ontario funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care.

TMI offers seven full-time undergraduates (diploma and degree/diploma) programs in Acupuncture, Chiropody, Medical Laboratory Science, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiation Therapy, Radiological Technology, and Respiratory Therapy.

Five graduate (advanced diploma) programs are offered in Applied Biotechnology, Cardiovascular Perfusion Technology, Diagnostic Cytology, Genetics Technology, and Ultrasound. The quality of TMI’s programs is reflected in the high demand for its graduates.

The proposed BHSc(MLS) program builds on the foundation and establishes the reputation of TMI’s full-time, three-year diploma program in Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). This program is fully accredited by the Canadian Medical Association Conjoint Committee for the Accreditation of Educational Programs.

It qualifies graduates to write national certification examinations set by the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS), qualifying graduates for registration with the College of Medical Laboratory Technologists of Ontario (CMLTO), the provincial licensing body.
