Located in Des Moines, Iowa, Des Moines University-Osteopathic Medical Center was established in 1898, making it the second oldest medical school in the country. Interestingly, the school was started by Dr. S. S. Still, the nephew of the founder of osteopathic medicine, Dr. A. T. Still. A private school, Des Moines offers master’s and doctoral programs in osteopathic medicine and related medical fields. The relatively large student body is diverse, and while students are offered every educational amenity, they are also assured personal focus and excellence.
