Page 33 - 45th Anniversary Alumni Success Stories

Following high school I wanted to enroll in a physical
therapist assistant program at a local college. I attended
a community college and took online classes to complete
the pre-requisites. I had been on the school’s waitlist for
almost three years when they changed the requirements.
I was so frustrated! In pursuing other options, I learned
Pima Medical Institute had a Medical Administrative
Assistant program I could finish in only seven months.
After completing the program I knew I could begin my
career in the medical field and later continue with their
online associate degree in Health Care Administration,
so I signed up!

I really enjoyed my education at PMI. The instructors
were great and every class was valuable. There were no
random classes that didn’t apply to my career. Everything
was something I could relate to. I was concerned when
I started with online Health Care Administration that an
11 month program would be too intense and overwhelm-
ing. However, I found the instructors were not only
responsive, but the classes were applicable to my daily
work!

I am currently working as a front office supervisor. I’ve
completed my HCA associate degree and plan to continue
with PMI’s online HCA bachelor degree. Everything I’ve
learned from my MAA program to my HCA classes I
find to be very valuable. I’m looking forward to the
knowledge that awaits me as I continue my education.
