Have your job shared in our weekly newsletter
Each week, we put out a weekly newsletter which is sent to students and alumni highlighting current job opportunities. You can email your job to tusmgpcareerservices@tufts.edu, and it can be shared in our next newsletter.
Highlight your organization in our Employer Spotlight
Employers can provide a multi-media spotlight of their organization that will be distributed through our weekly newsletter. The more students know about your organization, the better chance of them applying to your jobs. The Spotlight can include video, text, links, downloads, and more.

Host clinical affiliations or practicum students

Tufts PA students are require to complete four- to five-week rotations in core clinical disciplines such as Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, Women’s Health, Behavioral Medicine, Family Medicine, and Orthopedics.
These rotations will take place at various clinical sites in the surrounding area, and students are under the direct supervision of their clinical preceptor.
If you are interested in being a hosting clinical site, please email paclinical@tufts.edu.
-
Students in Tufts DPT programs (Boston, Phoenix, and Seattle) complete a total of 31 weeks of full-time clinical education.

Our Master of Public Health and Master of Sciences in Health Informatics and Analytics students are required to complete field work referred to as Applied Practice Experience (APE) and Capstone, respectively. Both the APE and Capstones offer students an opportunity to integrate and apply public health knowledge and skills gained in the classroom to a real-world public health problem.
Hosting a Practicum or Capstone project is a great opportunity for organizations looking for experienced and enthusiastic students to help with their work.
Students can help research, implement, and evaluate a program or initiative at your organization. This is also a great way to help train the next generation of public health and health care professionals and give students real-world experiences to help them excel in the future.
To sign up to host a student, please fill out this survey.

Many of the students in the Master of Biomedical Sciences (MBS) program are looking for glide year opportunities. A glide year is the one-year some students take before being admitted to Medical, Dental, or other professional degree programs. During a glide year, students are looking to gain experience and exposure to health care in their respective fields of interest.
If you frequently hire for one-year roles that work for a glide year student, you can be added to our Glide Year Employer list which is shared with MBS students as they begin searching for a glide year opportunity. Let us know you want to be added to the list by emailing tusmgpcareerservices@tufts.edu.
