President's Message

The COVID-19 crisis is not yet fully behind us, but the last several months have been inspiring as we continue to witness thousands of students join the Pima Medical Institute family committed to a career in healthcare. Interest in healthcare education has never been stronger and demand for graduates remains robust.

While we have returned to on-campus learning in all of our facilities, the safety of our students, faculty and staff remains a top concern. Hands-on learning is key for students to gain the skills necessary to begin a rewarding career and we are committed to providing the best education possible in the safest environment we can.

There has never been a more important time in the healthcare field and we look forward to helping guide the next generation of professionals.

The hard work of our students, faculty and staff remains steadfast.

Respectfully,
Fred Freedman
CEO
Pima Medical Institute

CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Reporting

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was passed which authorized funding under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (“HEERF”) to Institutions of Higher Learning. These funds are required to be provided as Emergency Financial Aid Grants to students for expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus.

Pima Medical Institute is committed to full transparency in this process. Our staff is ready to assist you. Should you have any questions regarding the process, please contact your campus' Financial Services staff.
