American College of Medical Genetics Student Interest Group of Des Moines University menu
Part of our mission is to promote inter-disciplinary genetic education as well as providing a forum to review and discuss USMLE questions on genetics. To accomplish this, we offer students the opportunity to present genetic topics to members of the DMU community. Individuals who wish to present are able to choose topics that are high yield on the USMLE. In addition, after the presentations, the student will go over USMLE style questions related to the presentation with the audience. This allows for a greater understanding of genetic topics and an increased preparation for boards.
If you are interested in presenting, please contact ACMGSIG@dmu.edu for more information.
