Pima Medical Institute - Albuquerque

I came in for a teeth cleaning , and I have such bad anxiety about dental procedures. But I had Rebecca Screnock and what an Amazing, professional, caring , understanding, dental hygienist she is going to make . I can't say enough how she calmed my anxiety, to where even with 4 injections I felt absolutely nothing. Thank you Rebecca you gave me faith again in going to the dentist.

I've been going here for a year and a half, I pay every month to be taught a career and one instructor wants to fail me by 2% in one class because I asked for clarification on things lol thats what we as students pay you instructors for!!!!!So get this, they want me to pay for that class again plus another class that I PASSED and wait 3 months till I can come back WHILE I keep paying them!! also its not guaranteed that I can come back but they want me to keep paying them $500 until there is a spot open lmao money hungry and unethical Im so done with this place and the instructors that cant help someone be successful but they sure want to do everything they can to keep getting your money!

I graduated in 2019 and still haven't received my certificate of completion. I have tried to contact them on multiple occasions and they have not tried to help whatsoever. Instead, they'd rather send me advertisements for different programs so they can get more money. PIMA only cares about the money. Also, I was supposed to attend two different sites to work at they sent me to compounding and retail. I went out of my way to drive to Santa Fe so I can learn about compounding and the site never put me in the compound room. When I expressed my concerns to the supervisor they did nothing about it.The Pharmacy Technician Teacher, Sarah, was AMAZING and deserves a raise . She didn't get enough credit from the school for how amazing she was.

If I hadn't have been a single mom stuggling to survive, I would have sued them and won for sure. The veterinary assistant program refused to provide a practicum site for me and the teacher went on vacation and told me to go to vets in the area and ask them to let me do my practicum there. Interestingly, they all said no. So months later, she placed me at a hell hole where some demon woman kept records on me that apparently were bad.In retrospect, it was only $5000 which is in todays economy is not worth suing for-right? Also, if you are a thoughtful, EDUCABLE person, they made fun of us who actually frackin read (some of) the books which we had to pay for.Frackin losers all.Run run run away.

I was recommended by my cousin on their programs. I graduated in the Veterinary Assisting program. My teacher Ms. B was personable. She really got down to the point and meat and potatoes of vet med. Ms V. Smith was awesome. I really enjoyed her teachings when she subbed. At the end of my program. I felt like I was in the dark a little when I was getting ready to go to my clinicals. Angie was very friendly from the first step. The only complaints are the renovations during my program. At one point I heard drilling and fire alarms going off during my finals.

Attended an admissions interview with my spouse for information on possible programs with the institute. Very disappointed in our experience.1. Our admissions rep kept us waiting in the lobby.2. Her appearance was less then professional. She insisted on wearing a baseball cap and her winter jacket while talking to us.3. Her office was extremely dark and uninviting4. Her exploratory process was nonexistent. Her main point that she was pushing was the necessity of my wife having to take a mandatory 4-hour test before she was really interested in getting to specifics on the programs. 5. Advisor totally downplayed my wife's previous experience and education.6. All in all total waste of time. I would be very leery of investing my future with this school.

In all honesty I hate the attendance thing. Yes we're paying for the instructors time but it shouldn't go against our grade especially if were having family problems or medical issues. Should at least be excused instead of getting points deducted. Hospital note, excused? Nope. Going thru surgery, excused? Nope.

I had a great experience here at PIMA. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. The instructors were very knowledgeable on the subjects they were teaching. I got great hands on experience that prepared me for my externship.

I am currently in the HCA program and I have had the most amazing experience throughout my journey. Learning the computer skills in a whole new perspective. The teachers have been so diligent in keeping me goal oriented and on track for graduation. Thank you Mrs. Farley. And Mrs Starkly. Thank you for being tough on me and helping me meet my goals.

I attended a program here at pima . I would not recommend this school to anyone !! Sure you finish faster than most schools but if you are trying to take advantage of any military benefits here DO NOT ( gi bill , chapter 35) it has been a struggle to get my dates sent in by my certifying official on time which I'm often being ignored by email. I attended another college a few years back and never had any issues I received payment on time and accordingly never had to call the Va but here I'm having to call everyday to see what's going on. My dates are always submitted late which causes my account with the VA to be placed under holding for 3-4 weeks so I never know when my payout is and I rely on this money being as how I'm in school full time and cannot work . A benefit my father has worked and fought so hard for to be Able to give to his children is absolutely disgraced by this school. TAKE YOUR HARD EARNED BENEFITS ELSE WHERE !! I've had multiple friends and family wanting to use their military benefits at Pima and I advised them not to it's a huge headache at pima .
