About Pima Medical Institute

 

History and Philosophy

 

At Pima Medical Institute, we want each student to succeed. We are dedicated to providing students with a well-rounded education that offers theoretical classroom studies coupled with real world training on-site at medical facilities.

 

Pima Medical Institute is more than a vocational school. We provide life-altering opportunities that turn our students into competent medical professionals who can meet the expectations of 21st century employers. Our mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives by providing the best value in medical career education.

 

Pima Medical Institute started changing lives in January 1972, when Richard Luebke, Sr. and his wife, JoAnn, realized their dream of offering quality medical career education in Tucson, Ariz., starting with a nursing assistant program. Just one year later, the program had become so popular, the Luebkes added classes for other medical professions to meet the growing demand.

 

And as the need for high-quality medical career training developed, so did the need for additional campus locations.

 

Pima Medical Institute currently operates 11 campuses in seven states:

 

1. Tucson, AZ – 1972
2. Albuquerque, NM – 1985
3. Mesa, AZ – 1986
4. Denver, CO – 1988
5. Seattle, WA – 1989
6. Chula Vista, CA – 1998
7. Colorado Springs, CO – 2002
8. Las Vegas, NV – 2003
9. Renton, WA – 2004
10. East Valley, AZ – 2008
11. Houston, TX – 2009

 

In addition to the ground campus locations, Pima Medical Institute founded an online campus in 2006, offering a selection of programs for students looking for a convenient way to balance personal and professional responsibilities with furthering their education.

 

Today the legacy of the family business continues as Richard Luebke, Jr. and Mark Luebke lead the college their father founded nearly four decades ago. We continue to be guided by our belief that the seeds for future growth must be planted in the classroom. As such, Pima Medical Institute has become one of the premier medical career colleges in the western United States. Our students can choose either bachelor's degree completion programs, associate's degree or certificate programs.

 

Thousands of students graduate each year from Pima Medical Institute, and the majority of those graduates are placed into jobs. Now, that’s significant.
