For Employers: How to Hire or Support a UNM DPT Student

Students Scholarships

If you are interested in providing a student scholarship, or other forms of tuition support or repayment, please email HSC-UNMPTProgram@salud.unm.edu.

Meetings with DPT Students

Please enter your contact information at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/YFhkkbb1ui if you would like to receive information about opportunities to meet with our students. UNM's annual career fair for all medical professions is in early September; please email Dr. Amy Clithero at aclithero@salud.unm.edu for information and to sign up.

Position Information Form

If you are an employer looking to give information about a job posting to our students directly, you may fill out the form located here: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/Unu0ZuVgME. The information from this form syncs to a spreadsheet on the internal DPT current students page on a regular basis. If you have a flyer, you may include its information in the form, or a link to a digital version.

Posting a Job Listing

The UNM DPT program is now directing employers to utilize UNM's Handshake partnership to post open positions: https://career.unm.edu/employers/index.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 School of Medicine 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.

You may also post jobs and advertisements with APTA New Mexico at https://www.nmapta.org/about/advertising-opportunities.

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.
