The Creighton University School of Medicine is the graduate medical school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, and grants the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. It was founded in 1892. A satellite campus opened in 2012 at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, becoming the first Jesuit medical program west of Omaha. Initially, all matriculating students completed preclinical coursework in Omaha, and 42 third-year students completed their clinical rotations in Phoenix, with elective options at both campuses during their fourth year. As of 2021, students now complete pre-clinical coursework at both the Omaha and Phoenix campuses.
Since 2017, the primary teaching hospital is Bergan Mercy Medical Center. Both are affiliates of CHI Health, a division of Catholic Health Initiatives.
For the class of 2018, Creighton received 6771 applications and interviewed 649 students for the matriculated class of 155. The average GPA for admitted students was 3.77, with an average MCAT of 513. The class consisted of 75 (48.4%) males and 80 (51.6%) females.[5]
