Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services at Pima Medical Institute-Las Vegas

Pima Medical Institute-Las Vegas delivers solid value in allied health training, with graduates earning $31,915 in their first year—significantly above both the national median ($27,186) and Nevada state median ($28,293) for this field. This performance places the program in the 82nd percentile nationally, meaning it outperforms roughly 4 out of 5 similar programs across the country. While it ranks 60th percentile within Nevada (middle of the pack among the state's 10 programs), it's still competitive with top local options like Las Vegas College and Carrington College-Las Vegas.

The financial picture is reasonable for a short-term credential program. With median debt of just $9,457 and a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30, graduates can realistically pay off their investment relatively quickly. The modest 5% earnings growth over four years suggests this is an entry-level field where advancement may require additional training or experience, but the immediate earning potential provides a solid foundation.

For families seeking an affordable pathway into healthcare support roles, this program offers strong placement in a stable field with manageable debt. The combination of above-average starting salaries and low borrowing requirements makes this a practical choice for students who want to enter the workforce quickly with marketable skills.
