Welcome to Michener’s Simulation Studios
Located within the Michener Institute of Education at UHN, St. Patrick Campus, our simulation space is the largest simulation-based learning centre in Canada and serves our larger community as an innovative space where interprofessional, simulation-based learning and evaluation can occur. The centre includes simulation suites and debrief rooms, as well as 24 clinical examination rooms typically used for objective structured clinical evaluations (OSCEs).
For a glimpse inside the learning centre and to see how the spaces can work for your learning and evaluation requirements, click below to experience our virtual tour.
Please contact clis@michener.ca if you are interested in booking or if you have any questions about our services.
