The Delaware Institute of Medical Education and Research created the DIMER Program to provide an opportunity for Delaware residents to obtain a high-quality medical education, rather than attending a state-supported medical school.

It was created in 1969 as an alternative to a state-supported medical school, DIMER provides an opportunity for Delaware residents to obtain a high-quality medical education.

DIMER , Delaware has a relationship with Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University of Philadelphia, PA, and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) resulting in Sidney Kimmel Medical College and PCOM functioning as Delaware's medical schools.
