Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences’ Office of Clinical Affairs is committed to establishing a solid, ongoing relationship between every student and the university through positive communication and assistance with core and elective rotations during the clinical years of osteopathic medicine. The College of Osteopathic Medicine clinical clerkships are designed to provide students with educational and clinical training in general areas of medicine. They are organized to permit the greatest degree of educational exposure in practical, clinical environments as a means to develop general knowledge in areas of patient diagnosis and management. Beginning in the third year of the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program and extending to graduation, students receive clinical experience in hospitals, clinics and medical facilities as approved by the Office of Clinical Affairs.
