THE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL

The school originated in Dallas, Texas in 1978 when Dr. Roy Rose recognized the tremendous need for skilled professionals in the health care industry, and founded the Academy for Medical and Dental Assistants. In 1983, the school was purchased by Texas Education Corporation and it became an integral part of a large chain of private career schools. In May of 1990, Prince Careers Incorporated purchased the school to continue its tradition of providing skilled workers to the growing allied health industry under the name PCI Health Training Center. For nearly twenty years, we have been preparing highly trained individuals for careers in allied health care.
