Reasons to Work and Live in San Marcos
Check out jobs at this location
Our San Marcos campus is centrally located with easy access to San Diego and Orange County. The year-round moderate climate is a motivator to get outside and enjoy San Marcos’ many parks and trails, community recreation programs, lakes, and beaches.
Indoor and outdoor spaces provide a positive learning environment for students and working environment for faculty members. Out classrooms are equipped with the most current technology, so courses survey more than the traditional lecture-style format.
Faculty who teach on the San Marcos campus will have access to the new Center for Innovative Clinical Practice (CICP) – a 7,000 square foot teaching laboratory with state-of-the-art medical tools. Through simulation education, students experience realistic situations in immersive settings, build confidence and critical thinking skills, and become better prepared for clinical careers. With a broad range of physical therapy and occupational therapy classes, this center includes a 16-bed patient ward, a dedicate area for occupational therapy education, two patient assessment rooms for acute care and clinical scenarios, a complex situation room, a 25-seat observation and debriefing room, and a daily living lab.

Contributing Faculty, Physical & Occupational Therapy

All of the other faculty members and program director have been very supportive - they're always supportive, always collaborative, always helping me develop my teaching skills. We're constantly looking at ways to provide great current evidence based practice and research in the curriculum which has been a great experience for our students."
MHS Enrollment Advisor
“It has been a dream come true to work for the University of St. Augustine. I am proud to work for a preeminent university in the health sciences. What makes my job even more amazing is the fact that my work mates have become like a second family to me. Therefore, coming to work affords me the opportunity to work for a leading university and with people who support and care for me. Coming to work every day is a joy!”
Professor, MOT/OTD Program
“Having been a physical therapist for over 20 years, it was an easy transition into teaching where I get to teach and show my passion for the career, watching students evolve from PTs and OTs in the classroom into practicing interns makes me feel good about the evolution and progression of our profession. I appreciate the University's core value of "student first" which is something that's always been important to me.”
