Pima Medical Institute-Tucson issued the following announcement on Nov. 19
Pima Medical Institute’s Houston Campus was buzzing with activity on November 1, as the new campus location was officially unveiled to the public.
Students, instructors, staff and community partners were on hand for an official ribbon cutting. Many also took part in campus tours and classroom demonstrations.
The Houston Campus first opened its doors in 2009, and since then has been committed to providing the best value in allied health career education and supporting the dental, medical and veterinary employment needs of the Greater Houston area. This location provides the best educational experience possible for our students.
“Pima Medical and our graduates have experienced incredible success in Houston over the last ten years,” said Fred Freedman, Pima Medical Institute President and CEO. “Our relationship with employers, including Memorial Hermann and virtually every hospital group in the Houston metropolitan area, as well as doctors’ offices, dentists’ offices, veterinary clinics, imaging centers and more, demonstrates the quality of education we provide and illustrates just how seriously we take our responsibility of educating and preparing students for today’s workforce.”
The Career Colleges and Schools of Texas (CCST) awarded the Houston campus College of the Year in 2016. This year, Dr. John Puryear and the Dental Hygiene program walked away with prestigious honors.
Dr. John Puryear is the Pharmacy Technician Lead Instructor at the Houston campus and won Texas Instructor of the Year. The Dental Hygiene Department won the annual CCST Innovator of the Year Award for a new education model created to accommodate a census of 80 students instead of 60 students.
