Education & Research
  • Creighton University, a comprehensive Jesuit, Catholic institution, was founded in 1878 in Omaha, Neb.  The University's School of Medicine has been teaching tomorrow’s doctors since 1892.  In the Jesuit, Catholic tradition of caring for the whole person - mind, body and spirit - the School of Medicine and Creighton Medical Associates (CMA) are committed to providing excellent patient care and preparing future doctors for the medical challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in patient care, teaching and research, and service.

    The School of Medicine boasts a national presence in medicine.  Our graduates practice in all 50 states.  Surveys of our graduates and their residency doctors show that Creighton-educated physicians are nationally recognized for their extraordinary clinical skills, communication, empathy and cultural competence.

  • A strong desire to make a difference in patients' lives drives the research efforts at Creighton University's School of Medicine. Researchers are making discoveries that can positively affect patients' lives in the areas of bacterial resistance, cancer, hearing loss and the conditions that affect bone health and loss.

    Part of the mission at Creighton University's School of Medicine is to develop new therapies to contribute to the health and well-being of patients. Research is essential to learning about the mechanism of diseases and new ways to prevent and treat disease.
