Career Opportunities for Students & Alumni

UNM Handshake

All UNM students and alumni have access to Handshake, a national jobs portal. More information is here: https://career.unm.edu/jobs-internships/Handshake_jobs/what-is-handshake.html. UNM students can sign up here: https://unm.joinhandshake.com/. It is recommended that you sign up while you are a student, as it is easier to create an account using your @salud.unm.edu email address.

Alumni and students also have access to the lists of employers by region at https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/alumni-giving/careers/.

Current Student Page

Current DPT students have access to an internal website: https://unmhsc.sharepoint.com/sites/DPTCurrentStudents. In addition to other useful information, it includes job information from the employers who have filled out the form below in addition to posting on Handshake.

The UNM DPT program is now directing employers to utilize UNM's Handshake partnership to post open positions: https://career.unm.edu/employers/introduction-to-handshake.html. We direct our students to look at Handshake for career opportunities. Handshake is also used by other schools in the state and around the country, so it will extend your reach beyond just UNM.

You can also submit your information to UNM's alumni office for inclusion on their lists of employers here: https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/alumni-giving/careers/.

If you previously paid for a posting on this page, the postings remained on this page until December 2023. If you have questions or concerns about a previously posted position, please contact us at HSC-UNMPTProgram@salud.unm.edu.
