The Future Is Bright
“From faculty development, to student support, to a new curriculum that will revolutionize the way our professionals learn, Creighton School of Medicine is ready to lead in a new era of medical education focused on interprofessional, collaborative practice.”
— School of Medicine Dean Robert “Bo” Dunlay, MD’81
The CL and Rachel Werner Center
The CL and Rachel Werner Center for Health Sciences Education will serve as Creighton's health sciences hub, with active-group classrooms and a simulation center bringing together medical, nursing, physician assistant, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pharmacy, behavioral health and other students.
Meeting the Moment
Creighton’s School of Medicine stands at a significant moment. We’re looking back on more than 125 years of health care education but also looking ahead to the rapidly shifting landscape of our profession.
We are ready to meet the moment. Through our clinical partnerships in Omaha and Phoenix, we are preparing some of the most clinic-ready physicians in the country to help meet a growing need for health care professionals.
As we build upon our expertise in medical education and research, our guiding Jesuit values will continue to show us the way forward — providing an education committed to the whole person, developing women and men of competence and compassion, and doing all things for the greater glory of God.

The physician I want to be
“I’m now doing rotations, and sometimes, as I watch the physicians at work, I’m moved to tears. In many cases, they’re caring for people having some of the worst days of their lives. But after years, even decades working with patients, Creighton physicians still bring that same level of compassion and curiosity to every encounter. The values of this education last for life.
“That’s the kind of physician I want to be. That’s the kind of physician Creighton is preparing me to become."
— Pooja Varman, School of Medicine
