Pima Medical Institute - Phoenix

Complete waste of time. To start off, I RARELY write reviews. But I am extremely disappointed & dissatisfied with this school. Before applying MANY people told me not that & that the enrolling process was terrible, but I did not listen. When you are looking at possibly enrolling they call you 24/7, once they have you in the process you hardly hear back from anyone. During my enrolling process you had to get a few things together and I did, I barely made the cut off but finally was able to schedule an interview. Took about a month to have the group interview but I waited and was excited! Did my research and was ready! The interview was held via zoom which I understand because of COVID. It was a group interview and just extremely discouraging. The way the director of the DNS program conducted the interview was very different. I understand you are trying to “hype” up your school but he basically discredited any other diagnostic Sonographers that never attended Pima. He asked each of us 3 interview questions and proceeded to say that the way they choose the students is through an excel spreadsheet so basically that interview felt like it was for nothing. Then at the end of the interview he asked one of the girls to stay back so he could chat with her. What it was about, who knows? But to me it felt like he was picking her to be in the program and it was extremely discouraging and rubbed me the wrong way. It took almost a month for them to get back to let me know I was not accepted into the program, which I figured, but the way they wrote the email did not seem professional and made no sense. Before anything they tell you they have 200 applicants and only choose 20 something, when in the interview the director said we were the last interviewees and they interviewed 150 students. In the non acceptance email they said they had a record high volume of applicants, so which was it? I am relieved that I did not get accepted and can not wait to find a place where they are more welcoming.

I was trying to apply for one of their online programs. Even though i have a bachelor's degree and just wanted to finish classes so i get certified. They are very negative to begin with. She stated that i have less GPA then what they want?? Not only that but they didn't even tell me what kind of questions i have to prepare for. They made go through the interview thinking i would just guess answers. And in the end she tells me " you didn't have to prepare for the interview. You should already knew these answers". WE ARE STUDENTS TRYING TO LEARN. WE DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING!!

DENTAL ASSISTING PROGRAM This has been quite the journey, thankfully I had support from not only my teacher but all staff members and I'm truly thankful for it. Although it can get hard sometimes my instructor always had my back on helping me grow and learn many things in the dental field, because she's dedicated to providing the best education possible. Constantly going above and beyond for all her students, with a really cordial environment. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is interested in the dental field.

Pima medical, I’m a current student & Work-Study and I has been the best experience I’ve ever had at any school. All the staff have welcomed me with open arms and are dedicated to helping a student succeed. The campus director Stacy Nottingham, has shown nothing but excellence and also brings a great energy to this campus, it makes it that much more exciting to come and learn. She has opened opportunities for me which I’m super grateful

I’m an RN because of this school! Thank you so much!
