(PRWEB) May 30, 2005 -- Not one, but two students at Pima Medical Institute,

American Medical Technologists. Ronnie Lynn Lewis won the Outstanding Student
Award in the Dental Assistant category and Philip Young received the Outstanding
Student Award in the Medical Assistant category.
The Outstanding Student
Award recognizes students enrolled in Allied Health Programs whose achievements
are judged to be outstanding. The student body with faculty supervision
nominates a student based on academic record, extracurricular school or
profession-related activities, attendance, cooperation and conduct, initiative
and ability to get along with people. Students are selected from Allied Health
Professional accredited career colleges throughout the U.S. Both Lewis and Young
will receive $250, a plaque and a free full package registration to the AMT
Educational Program and National meeting July 11-16 in Kansas City,
Missouri.
“We were just ecstatic when we heard two of our
students won top honors in this national competition,” said Karen McGrath,
campus director for the Colorado Springs career college. “Our campus is smaller
than a lot of the career colleges in the Allied Health system, but the bottom
line is our students really excel. Ronnie and Philip are proof of that. The
students, staff and faculty are extremely proud of both of them.”
The competition honors students in seven categories, Dental Assistant,
Medical Administrative Assistant, Medical Laboratory Assistant, Medical
Assistant, Medical Laboratory Technician, Office Laboratory Technician and
Phlebotomy Technician. The Colorado Springs campus has programs for Dental
