Faculty Who Lead the Way

Our Doctor of Podiatric Medicine faculty bring a wealth of real-world clinical experience into the classroom.

Beyond teaching, they’re active researchers with impressive publication records and serve as clinicians at the Des Moines University Clinic — Foot and Ankle. This unique integration of education and patient care gives you valuable hands-on experience in a real clinical setting.

Because we’re committed to your success, you’ll be paired with a dedicated faculty advisor who offers guidance and support throughout your journey. And since our faculty don’t hold traditional office hours, they’re more accessible when you need them most.
