Overview

About Creighton University School of Medicine (MD)

Creighton University School of Medicine was founded in 1892 in Omaha, Nebraska. It is a private Jesuit medical school, and it forms physician-servants guided by the Ignatian principle of cura personalis, meaning care for the whole person. The school is affiliated with CHI Health (CommonSpirit) hospitals.

In 2021 it opened a four-year Phoenix campus with Valleywise Health, one of Arizona's largest safety-net and trauma hospital systems. Graduates lean strongly toward primary care, global health, and service to underserved communities, in keeping with the school's Jesuit heritage.

Tutor insight
Creighton's Jesuit interview culture resembles SLU's. Arrive with a genuine, concrete service narrative rooted in cura personalis values, not just a list of volunteer hours. If you are applying to the Phoenix campus, research Valleywise Health's role as Arizona's largest safety-net provider. Be ready to discuss Phoenix's distinctive health challenges, including extreme heat-related illness and a large uninsured migrant population. The dual-campus model is a genuine differentiator. Showing that you have thought carefully about which campus fits your goals, and why, demonstrates real school-specific engagement. Note too that Creighton is private, Jesuit, and national in scope. Do not confuse it with the University of Nebraska.
