Luebke, Jr. History, Philosophy, and Mission of Pima Medical Institute Welcome to Pima Medical Institute (PMI). The history of our school is a success story that has its roots in the vision of its owners and founders, a dynamic husband and wife team. In January 1972, Richard Luebke, Sr. and Jo Ann Luebke began their dream of offering quality medical career education in Tucson, Arizona. Their dream quickly became a reality, as the demand for affordable training grew. By January 1983, the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools approved PMI for institutional accreditation. With the heightened need for high quality medical career education, additional campuses were introduced: Tucson, Arizona (Main Campus) – 1972 Renton, Washington – 2004 Albuquerque, New Mexico – 1985 Albuquerque West, New Mexico (Main Campus) – 2005 Mesa, Arizona – 1986 East Valley, Mesa – 2008 Denver, Colorado – 1988 Houston, Texas – 2009 Seattle, Washington – 1989 Aurora, Colorado (Main Campus) – 2010 Chula Vista, California – 1998 El Paso, Texas – 2014 Colorado Springs, Colorado – 2002 Phoenix, Arizona – 2014 Las Vegas, Nevada – 2003 Our family and employee owned and operated schools have maintained a student-centered philosophy since opening the doors in 1972. The guiding philosophy of the institute is based in a firm belief in the worth and potential of each student. Following the belief that the seeds for future growth must be planted in the classroom, PMI has expanded its medical career college locations across the Western United States. PMI takes pride in its unique programs, quality of training, and professional environment that promote a student’s sense of discovery, excellence, and self worth. Thousands graduate each year with a Certificate or Degree from PMI, and the majority of those graduates are placed into jobs. PMI is committed to preparing competent medical professionals who can meet the expectations of 21st century employers. The mission of the institute is to improve the quality of people’s lives by providing the best value in medical career education. Truly, a few months at PMI can change your life! Best of luck in your pursuit of higher education and life-long learning.
