What To Expect During the Interview Process
At Des Moines University, we offer a candidate experience that will let you be confident in your decision to pursue your goals here.
Please use this page to familiarize yourself with DMU and our interview process:
We have developed the experience with you in mind
Our goal is to enable you to share your authentic self, perspectives and plans with us. Our interview approach is twofold: an online platform (Kira Talent) that gives you simple access to share your experiences and virtual events for you to meet members of the DMU community. Here are some additional details:
-
Kira Talent Assessment
This simple process should take 20-30 minutes to complete on your own time. You will be asked a question and given prep time and a set amount of time to respond. Refer to your candidate experience invitation email for more information and your personalized login link.
-
Small Group Experience
After completing your Kira Talent assessment, you will receive additional information on how to participate in a small group experience with DO faculty and students. Conducted via Zoom, this will give you an opportunity to share more information about yourself and talk with members of the DMU DO family.
After you have completed both the Kira Talent assessment and Zoom small group experience, your application file will be forwarded along to the admissions committee for review. Please allow 4-6 weeks for a final decision, which will be either acceptance, alternate or release from consideration.
Much more information regarding these statuses will be provided in your decision letter.
