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.
