Two medical students from the University of Makerere in Uganda, Julliet Allen and Gilbert Elijah, will be in Des Moines for an 8-week rotation. They will arrive on March 20 for a four-week rotation in the DMU Clinic and four-weeks at Mercy Medical Center and will head home on May 14. Please welcome Julliet and Gilbert when you see them on campus!
This rotation was created through the partnership DMU has with the University of Makerere in Uganda. Several DMU students are scheduled to rotate in Uganda with a few already returning from this rotation site.
The Global Health dept. is currently searching for adequate accommodations for these two students while in Des Moines. If you are interested in helping with this opportunity by offering home stay, please contact Chris Catrenich!

Check out the anatomy lab!
Have you ever gone on a campus tour and felt like you didn’t really get to see the heart and guts of the school? We don’t want that to happen at DMU. We also don’t want you to visit and leave without every question answered. So if you’re thinking you want to enter the health care field (or your child or student does), then come check out Discover DMU on March 3.
It’s informal yet informative and you’ll get to see where students really learn and grow. You’ll hear about all 9 of our programs and go on a tour with a current student to our labs and classrooms and gym and all the other cool stuff that makes DMU awesome.
You’ll get to:
Come with questions! Our students are amazing and they are happy to share their experiences.

Research is key component for a successful medical and health science school and DMU is proud of its research department.
You don’t have to be a DMU student to rub shoulders with faculty and medical students, though! Every summer, undergraduate students work with faculty researchers for 8 weeks on projects in microbiology, pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry and physical therapy.
Students work up to 40 hours per week and receive a stipend of $10/hour. Housing is not provided. It’s a great way to dip a toe in the water of graduate school or research and see what the research world is all about!

If jumping into ice cold waters when the temp is below freezing, or riding a snowbike down hill sounds like fun, check out the Des Moines Winter Games this weekend!

On Friday when I got home from work, my husband surprised me with having dinner and hotel reservations ready for a night out (he is THE BEST) and we hit up Centro, one of our favorite dinner spots. We devoured the pancetta-wrapped gulf shrimp that we love, gobbled up the focaccia bread, then I had the chicken & proscuitto penne. DELISH! It’s hard to try new dinner places when we have some we love so much!
Last week I stumbled across two sites I’d never seen before that rated, reviewed or shared info about Des Moines eateries. So check out TheTopDesMoinesRestaurants or SneakySunday.
How do you find new places? Do you look up reviews before you try ‘em or just jog on in?
