Common questions about Pima Medical Institute
How much does the Pima Medical Institute phlebotomy program cost?
Tuition runs $1,200 to $2,500. That figure is what the school publishes for the program itself; textbooks, scrubs, a background check, and the certification exam fee are usually billed separately, so ask for a full cost sheet before you enrol. This program reports that financial aid options are available to students who qualify.
How long is the Pima Medical Institute phlebotomy program?
The program runs 2-3 months. Phlebotomy is one of the fastest routes into healthcare — most programs finish in a few weeks to a single semester, far short of a two-year degree. Clinical externship hours are part of that time, not an extra step afterwards.
What certification does Pima Medical Institute prepare you for?
The program prepares students to sit for CPT. Certification is awarded by the certifying body after you pass its exam, not by the school — finishing the program makes you eligible to test.
Is Pima Medical Institute accredited?
This program lists accreditation or approval from ABHES. Accreditation status can change, so verify it directly with the accrediting body before you pay anything.
Does the Pima Medical Institute program include a clinical externship?
Yes. An externship puts you in a real lab or draw station with live patients, which is what most employers and — in regulated states — the certifying body want to see.
Where is Pima Medical Institute located?
Pima Medical Institute delivers its phlebotomy training online, so coursework is available nationwide. Any hands-on requirement is arranged at a site near you — ask how that placement works before enrolling.
