Page 67 - 45th Anniversary Alumni Success Stories

I was tired of working as a server in a restaurant and
wanted a real career with decent hours. As I began research-
ing, I found Pima Medical Institute had the highest rated
programs. Their Medical Administrative Assistant morning
program was a good fit with my work schedule and my
responsibility caring for my two stepdaughters. I was very
nervous to start classes, but my instructors were friendly
and I loved everything I was learning.

I arrived early on the first day of my externship at a
chiropractic office, just like PMI taught us, and they were
very impressed. The manager had to take a week off so
she doubled up on intense training so I could assist with
managing the office. The doctors were so incredible and
helpful. During the manager’s week off, I won over their
hearts! They were so pleased with my hard work and
dedication that they hired me upon completion of my
externship. Soon after, the office manager ended up moving
and I was promoted to assume her role

My instructors at PMI both challenged me and believed
in me. I’m so grateful for them! I’m not finished learning
and I plan to enroll in PMI’s online Health Care Admin-
istration program in the near future. Just one year ago
I was a frustrated waitress. Today, I have a great career
and a job I love and … I just received a raise!
