What impressed you positively?

The Chairman of the Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine department gave us a quick brief on the many uses of OMT, very impressive! Stated that MD schools are starting to teach OMT to its students, under the course name of "Bio-Mechanics". Des Moines is a very nice city, extremely clean and progressive, definitely not "Hickville, USA". Would be a great city to raise a family. To choose between UHS-COM and DMU would be difficult. Both boast a 96% COMLEX Part 1 pass rate.

What impressed you negatively?

Many of the other schools have nicer facilities, but DMU is growing, a major construction project is due to start in the Spring of 2003. Should be very nice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Very laid back and relaxing. Puts the interviewee at ease from the start. Des Moines is a very nice city, larger than I expected, has a population of 450,000 including the surburban areas. Very safe and family friendly area.
