I wrote a review some years ago regarding what how terrible the teaching is within the respiratory therapy program. I currently am working in the field and run into recent graduates and sometimes current students. Nothing I have heard from them indicates that the program is better. It actually sounds like it has become worse. I see a couple a post about how the program has improved. Do not believe them. It is still an extreme waste of time and money. You will not be prepared to work in any fast paced acute care setting when you are done. I feel very strongly about this and hope anyone considering attending this program will do proper research. Go to hospitals and talk to respiratory managers. Ask to talk to staff RTs if they are available. Ask if they would recommend attending PIMA. Don't just do a few Google searches. You'll be investing a lot of money and time, do your research! See if you can sit in for a class at PIMA before giving them your money. They can put up all the fake reviews, or trick the few people dumb enough to think they are in a quality program. They can't fake a good classroom experience or force others within the respiratory therapy community to lie. Please, just attend a different school. You will not regret it. If you attend the PIMA Respiratory Therapy program you will definitely regret it.
