Overview
Founded in Tucson, Arizona in 1972 by Richard Luebke, PMI originally opened its doors to fill a need that Luebke saw in the local community: career-focused, professional health education. PMI has expanded greatly since its inception and now spans 15 campuses in cities throughout the western portion of the nation, including Las Vegas, Phoenix, and Albuquerque. Many Pima Medical Institute programs have also been offered online since 2006.
