What is Allied Health?
An estimated 60% of the healthcare field consists of allied health positions. These professionals make the health care system function. They provided a range of diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and direct patient care and support services. These services are critical to the other health professionals they work with and the patients they serve.

Allied health professionals are engaged in almost every aspect of health care, from billing to nursing, to laboratory work.

What is experiential learning?
Simply put, experiential learning is learning through direct experience. We feel it’s the best way to learn, and we designed our Program around it. So when you attend classes at P.I.T., get ready for more than just textbooks. Our instructors use a variety of teaching tools such as:
  • Field work in real-world medical settings
  • Multimedia classroom presentations
  • In-classroom experiments
  • Lab work
  • Role-playing scenarios
  • Case-study reviews

What kind of career will I have?
The passing of recent healthcare legislation makes this a unique time for job growth in all levels of allied health! The focus on patient outcomes and preventative care will increase the demand for allied health professionals.

Students holding a license, certificate, Associate Degree, and those who pursue a four year allied health degree will be able to find work in a variety of rewarding healthcare settings, including:
  • Doctor’s offices
  • Multi-doctor practices
  • Home healthcare
  • Insurance companies

Why choose P.I.T. for your Allied Health education?
  1. Earn your license, certifications, AND degree under one roof
    Our Allied Health tracks are designed so students can earn their license, certifications, and degree in the order and timeframe that works best for them!

  2. Experienced Instructors
    Our instructors either come from a real world background or still hold positions in their fields. They share their working knowledge to better prepare our students to enter the workplace.

  3. Intimate learning environment and family atmosphere
    Our instructors know each student on a first name basis. Smaller class sizes allow us to focus on each student’s individual strengths and areas to improve.

  4. Parallel learning
    P.I.T.’s unique “parallel learning” approach saves time and money for our students. We offer both academic enrichment and degree classes at the same time, fast-tracking students to a degree.

  5. Flexibility
    Our flexible schedule is ideal for students balancing work, family, and school.

  6. No “weeding out” courses
    It’s common to find “weeding out” courses in other healthcare programs. These courses are harder than a first semester course should be. Some schools use these to “weed out” struggling students. At P.I.T. we take the opposite approach: we WANT you to succeed. We will go the extra mile to ensure your success!

  7. Free tutoring
    Scheduled tutoring from both instructors and honor students is available to ALL P.I.T. students, free of charge!

  8. Portfolio Building and Interview Coaching
    The value of a P.I.T. education extends beyond the classroom! Our instructors work hard to prepare graduates through portfolio building and interview coaching.
