Allied Health Diagnostic, Intervention, and Treatment Professions at Pima Medical Institute-Denver

Pima Medical Institute-Denver delivers strong earnings outcomes that justify its higher tuition costs. With first-year graduates earning $62,420—placing the program in the 84th percentile nationally—this clearly outperforms most allied health programs across the country. The $30,160 median debt is substantially higher than both national ($19,113) and Colorado ($22,896) averages, but the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.48 remains very manageable, meaning graduates can reasonably expect to pay off loans within a few years.

While the program ranks in the 60th percentile within Colorado (decent but not exceptional at the state level), it actually leads among the top Denver-area programs, edging out Red Rocks Community College by a small margin. The 4% earnings growth from year one to four is modest, suggesting most of the career advancement happens early. With a robust sample size of 100+ graduates, these numbers are reliable indicators of typical outcomes.

For families weighing this investment, the key insight is clear: you're paying a premium for consistently strong employment outcomes. The higher debt load is offset by earnings that exceed most competitors, making this a solid choice if your child wants predictable entry into a stable healthcare field and can handle the additional borrowing costs.
