Since its founding in 1898, Des Moines University has emphasized respect for all persons, meeting the health needs of underserved populations and giving students opportunities to learn from and work with those of different backgrounds.
DMU’s core value of inclusivity reflects its commitment to preparing health professionals to provide culturally competent and respectful care in our increasingly diverse society. Diversity, equity and inclusion are uniquely woven into the curriculum, clinical cases and campus programs, earning honors from the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine and other entities.
More important, this core value equips students to serve patients, lead organizations and contribute to communities in ways that benefit people from all walks of life.
