  • 1/29/10 UPDATE NOTICE TO:  STUDENTS OF MILE HIGH MEDICAL ACADEMY (MHMA)

    Dear Student:

    I have been in touch with most of you individually over the past couple of weeks regarding the Division of Private Occupational Schools’ (“Division”) efforts to see that each of you have an opportunity to continue and complete your education and training.  In those meetings, you were informed that the Division is working with an approved private occupational school to provide you with that opportunity. 

    For those of you who have not been able to attend the student meetings or have not received my messages, the Division has been working with an established, state approved and nationally accredited institution, Pima Medical Institute, to develop a plan for MHMA students to continue their education. 

    In recent meetings, Pima and the Division Director have been exploring all viable option to continue and complete your education as soon as possible. The advantage of continuing your education with Pima is that students will have an opportunity to graduate from an accredited institution, which enhances the value of your certificate.

    We recognize this transition has been difficult and stressful and we greatly appreciate your continued patience during this time. A final decision is very near.   When that decision is reached, Division staff Pima representatives will meet with the student body to explain the transitioning to Pima to complete your education.  I will keep you informed via the Division’s website, http://highered.colorado.gov/dpos as new information becomes available. 

    Sincerely,

    Jim Parker, Division Director
    303-866-2723
