Page 47 - 45th Anniversary Alumni Success Stories

Pima Medical Institute has become a family affair for me
and my sisters. It all started when my sister, Miranda,
began researching colleges. She was feeling discouraged
on her visits to some of the larger institutions. But walking
into PMI felt like just the right atmosphere. They made
her feel like she was important and she signed up for the
Medical Assistant program. Upon graduation, she was
offered a position working for an ENT specialist.

As our family watched her walk across the stage at gradu-
ation, my twin sister Clarissa found herself thinking,
“I want to do this!” It wasn’t long before she signed up
for the Medical Administrative Assistant program. She
had such a positive educational experience at PMI, she
is currently in their Health Care Administrative program
and plans to continue on to get her Bachelor of Science
in Health Care Administration.

Having been a stay at home mom for 10 years, I wasn’t
even considering going back to school until my sister
began pushing me and saying, “You can do this, you
HAVE to go to PMI!” I had so many doubts and fears
about going back to school. But, the instructors made it
inviting and I quickly made some great friends. I just
finished my externship and am excited about getting my
first job. My future goals include coming back to get
more education.

Our family is so thankful for the careers Pima Medical
Institute gave us. Now … we’re trying to talk our mom
into attending!
