Clinical Excellence & Student Mentorship

Are you looking for a fulfilling way to use your dental expertise beyond traditional practice?

Pima Medical Institute is seeking a dedicated Clinical Dentist to support our Dental Hygiene Program at our Albuquerque campus for 16 hours per week. In this vital part-time role, you will provide essential clinical oversight while collaborating with students, instructors, and clinical staff in a dynamic educational environment.

If you are a licensed dentist passionate about mentorship, ready to ensure high-quality patient care, and eager to help shape the next generation of dental professionals, we encourage you to apply!

A Day in the Life

As a Clinical Dentist in our hygiene clinic, your expertise bridges clinical care and student learning.

During your 16 weekly clinic hours, you will oversee patient exams, evaluate student progress during clinical procedures, prescribe diagnostic care, and step in to guide student hygienists through complex cases. You'll play a direct role in creating a safe, high-standard clinical learning environment for our students and community patients alike.

You'll Have the Opportunity To:

• Provide clinical oversight and comprehensive dental services within the campus hygiene clinic.

• Supervise and mentor student dental hygienists and dental assistant externs during clinical practice.

• Prescribe and oversee radiographic and diagnostic services in compliance with New Mexico State Board regulations.

• Deliver didactic and lab instruction as assigned by the Program Director.

• Supervise care during medical emergencies and maintain clinic safety protocols.

• Collaborate with program leadership and participate in faculty meetings, clinical updates, and in-service training.

Who Thrives in This Role?

You are a licensed dentist who takes pride in high clinical standards and loves helping others grow. This 16-hour/week schedule is ideal if you are looking to balance your private practice schedule, step back from full-time practice ownership, or transition your clinical expertise into higher education.

You possess strong interpersonal skills, a patient-centered approach to care, and enthusiasm for guiding future healthcare professionals.

Why Pima Medical Institute?

Make a lasting impact on the dental hygiene community while enjoying a supportive, collaborative environment. As part of our 100% employee-owned college, you'll also have the opportunity to share in the success of the institution you help build.
