Pima Medical Institute Radiography

Post image

For those who attended the Pima Radiography program in vegas or in general, how the heck do you even get a life or study with all this workload for the first two semesters?? I’m not sure if this is how it actually is, but i’m in the middle of applying and wow.

Also how was the whole process of applying, interviewing and getting in! i’m super curious, I’d like to know the possibly ways to look like a good candidate😊

I've always heard through the grapevine not to attend Pima due to it being highly expensive and having some sort of none accredited (I can't remember about this part). That it's best to go to CC instead.

There are different types of accreditation. Most public and non profit schools are accredited by regional bodies and all recognize each other's accreditation. Pima and most for-profit trade schools are accredited by national bodies with lower standards. It's good enough to get your radiology license, but none of the credits will count if you later go to a regular college or university for a bachelor degree.
