Page 101 - 45th Anniversary Alumni Success Stories

After 12 years as a dental assistant I knew there was more
for me in the dental profession. When I heard PMI was
offering a Dental Hygiene program, I jumped at the
opportunity! I am a 35-year-old parent of two boys and
the thought of quitting my job to attend school was quite
daunting, but I forged ahead and committed. The Dental
Hygiene program was an accelerated, challenging oppor-
tunity. Despite the sweat, tears, countless study sessions,
long nights of studying and many other sacrifices, I
completed the program and became a Board Certified
Registered Dental Hygienist!

I appreciated my education at PMI. I was continually
impressed by the knowledge and willingness of the instruc-
tors and administration to ensure my educational success.
I was prepared in every way, from classroom to my job!
After passing my boards, I had three job offers! Since
graduation I have been employed in an amazing dental
office doing what I love! I am even considering furthering
my career goals by attending PMI for a bachelor’s degree.

I am so grateful for everything PMI and my instructors
have done for me. I was even given a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to practice my profession on a missionary
trip to Africa provided by the former CEO of PMI, Mr.
Richard Luebke, Jr. Pima Medical Institute truly cares
for their students and provides opportunities not available
anywhere else. I would definitely recommend PMI to
anyone seeking a way to achieve their career goals and
make a better life!
