Continuing Medical Education

The DMU CME program provides evidence-based health education and professional development opportunities that encourage interprofessional collaboration and enhance learners’ competence, performance, and patient outcomes. We focus on compassionate, lifelong learners and advocate for the health and welfare of diverse populations. Our goal is to improve patient outcomes for the people served by the health providers we educate. Our educational offerings include updates on clinical medicine and basic science research, reviews of current or best-practice recommendations for clinical care, learning modules on quality improvement, procedural and communication skills, development exercises, and professional development in academics, leadership, and patient safety. The primary target audience is Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences faculty, preceptors, alumni, staff, and students. We welcome and encourage the attendance of all health professionals and actively seek to broaden our audience by collaborating with other healthcare-related organizations throughout the United States to expand the scope of learning relevant to their practice.
