All instructors at PIMT meet strict criteria. The Anatomy & Physiology instructors must hold a Doctor's Degree (D.C., M.D., or D.O.). The massage instructors hold either National Certification (or are qualified to sit for the National Examination) or a License in massage therapy (as dictated by their state of origin). Additionally, all massage instructors have successfully completed at least a 500-hour course of study in massage therapy, and have substantial experience in the field. In addition, our instructors are constantly continuing their education through various seminars, which enhance their instruction.
PIMT strives to raise the standard and quality of education in the field of massage therapy. We feel that in order to graduate the best therapists, we must maintain a higher standard of instructor.
