An event not to be missed
by Barb Boose
Admittedly, we’re biased, but we believe the DMU and central Iowa communities have great opportunities to hear a wonderful speaker as part of next week’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrations: William Anderson, D.O., FACOS, is a 1956 graduate of Des Moines University and a pioneer in both osteopathic medicine and the nation’s civil rights movement.

Want to research?
Faculty and students at Des Moines University work together in first-rate facilities on diverse research studies regarding health and wellness, and you could be a part of it.
Are you an undergrad student (or know of one) interested in research or a future career in health or medicine? Then check out the mentored research program. This opportunity gives students one-on-one experience with our research faculty in microbiology, pharmacology, physiology, biochemistry and physical therapy. It’s a 40-hour a week project during the months of June/July with a stipend and tons of hands-on experience.
Space is limited, so get your application in soon!

Health Careers Exploring Post 141
Know of any high-school students in the area who want to learn more about careers in health care? DMU has a great resource for them called the Exploring Post. This year they have more than 50 members from 12 area high schools. Cost for the program is $20 for the entire year (September – April), and they meet the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. The next meeting will be January 10.
Here are some pictures from the most recent Exploring Post meeting in which the students learned how to scrub-in for surgery and put on gowns, gloves, masks, etc. They also learned how to intubate a patient and how to do ultrasounds. They did all of these activities in the DMU surgery labs.
