Posting jobs, housing or professional opportunities to the UWS community.

UWS alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of the university
For professional opportunities, mentorship, advice, housing and goods, we hope you will consider creating an account and posting a personal ‘ask’ or ‘offer’ on UWS Switchboard. UWS Switchboard is free from spammers, advertisers and large-scale brokers.

Individuals or clinics not currently connected with UWS
For professional opportunities, mentorship, advice and goods, please use one or both of these resources to get the word out to current students and alumni.

  • Email a 1-page flyer in pdf format to [email protected]. Please provide information about your practice sale, or, the position you would like to hire. Your flyer will be posted for 30-days on the alumni relations professional opportunities bulletin board on campus.
  • Fill out this quick community posting request form if you’d like your opportunity to be highlighted in our monthly online ‘interesting opportunities’ digest to the UWS community. If your opportunity is selected, interested parties will be instructed to contact you directly.

All Massage Therapy Opportunities
The massage therapy program at UWS was discontinued in 2017 and we no longer have massage therapy students on campus. For open massage therapy positions, we advise you to consider posting an ad with one of the following: Oregon School of Massage, East West College of the Healing Arts or the American Massage Therapy Association.

Housing Opportunities
Due to recent policy changes, UWS is no longer sharing housing opportunities on our community platform. For housing offers near the new campus (8000 NE Tillamook St), please consider posting your housing offers on Craigslist, Zillow, PadMapper and other external housing platforms to get the word out to current students. Please note these websites are not controlled or endorsed by UWS.

Large-scale practice brokers and other health care marketing solutions
A broad collection of classified ad listing websites can be found on the NCMIC website. You may utilize these external resources moving forward. Please note that this website is not controlled or endorsed by UWS.
