Pima Medical Institute – Las Vegas PTA Program Overview

The Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) program at Pima Medical Institute’s Las Vegas campus is designed to prepare students for rewarding careers helping patients regain mobility and improve their quality of life. This on-campus Associate of Occupational Science degree can be completed in about 18 months, with a total of 1,631 program hours—slightly more than other PMI locations due to the required HST 205 Nevada History and US Constitution course, which provides unique local context.
Students gain hands-on experience through clinical externships across diverse healthcare settings in Las Vegas, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, home health agencies, and schools. The curriculum covers anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, therapeutic exercises, patient care techniques, medical terminology, ethics/law relevant to Nevada practice standards—and administrative procedures.

Graduates are eligible to sit for the National Physical Therapy Examination for licensure as a PTA. PMI offers robust career services support from resume building to job placement assistance—a big plus given Las Vegas’ growing demand for skilled PTAs driven by its expanding population and aging residents.

Tuition details are available via PMI’s financial aid office; federal grants/loans may apply. A standout feature: alumni speak highly of supportive faculty who help arrange clinical placements locally—even accommodating students’ hometowns when possible. For those wishing to advance further after graduation or while working in the field here in Southern Nevada or beyond,PMI also offers an online Bachelor’s completion pathway specifically for PTAs.
