Here’s what George says about his Pima experience: Our #1 Goal: Your Success! Here’s what George says about his Pima experience: “What I enjoyed best about the APTR program was the flexibility and timeliness that it allowed me to finish my RT.  I am highly convinced that you cannot put a price on convenience and time especially in today’s society. The ability to balance full-time work responsibilities, full-time family responsibilities, and education all at once is what makes Pima’s option so attractive and very much worth it.” 2011 Graduate July 2011 Graduate George J. Martinez R.T.(R) (ARRT) Supervisor
