The program, which collabo- rates with the Des Moines Area Medical Education Con- sortium Inc., includes five hos- pitals that allow students to gain a broader learning experi- ence. Officials said they believe that by teaching in metropoli- tan areas such as Des Moines, students gain exposure to more diverse medical cases. Steve Craig, the director of the Des Moines consortium, said he believes there are sev- eral advantages to expanding the current program. “Students are given the opportunity to learn more about the health care in other parts of the state,” he said. “It provides a well-rounded expe- rience for participants.” Although the program is still in its early stages, Robillard said it will have a large effect on medical students. Chief among his hopes for the pro- gram are that it will persuade more students to stay in the state after graduation, he said.
