Sabrina Armijo After working for a time as a Metropolitan Transit System
bus operator, I realized I couldn’t do it my whole life. After
Pharmacy Technician Program my daughter was born, I decided to pursue a career. My
Chula Vista Campus mom had completed the Medical Assistant program at
Pima Medical Institute years earlier and I have always
Graduated 2018 had an interest in the medical field. So, I went to Pima
Medical, heard about their program offerings and the
Pharmacy Technician program piqued my interest and I
enrolled.

After graduation, I ended up with

two job offers. The opportunities for
my future are endless.

I loved the program. Everyone talked about pharmacy
math being hard, but it just stuck with me and I didn’t
find it difficult. My classmates were wonderful and I made
great friends. Pima Medical’s externship program gave
me experience in multiple settings. I enjoyed both, but
learned that I definitely preferred the fast-paced setting
of the hospital over the retail site.
After graduation, I ended up with two job offers. I chose a
position at Scripps Mercy Hospital since it offered both full
time and benefits, which I needed to provide for my little
girl. I’ve since been promoted to a Technician II position
and I just love my job and my new career! I love the
environment, my co-workers and the busyness. There’s
never a dull moment and always work to be done.

I would definitely recommend Pima Medical Institute.
I had a great experience and the best instructor. The
opportunities for my future are endless; I’ve considered
becoming a buyer, a narcotics specialist, a system
analyst or even becoming a pharmacist.
