About Creighton’s School of Medicine

Forming Doctors Who Care for the Whole Person

Creighton University School of Medicine has been dedicated to forming medical students in the Catholic, Jesuit tradition- mind, body and soul- for over 130 years. Cura personalis, “care for the whole person,” is at the heart of not only how we form future physicians, but also how Creighton physicians serve patients.

Between our two campuses, 850+ medical students are on their way to become world changers in medicine and beyond.

CL and Rachel Werner Center for Health Sciences Education

Opened in 2023 on the Omaha campus, the Werner Center brings together future physicians, nurses, OTs, PTs, physician assistants and EMS technicians under one roof. The 145,000-square-foot facility is outfitted with simulation labs, exam rooms, skills lab, study and socialization lounges, a dedicated medical student locker room and an outdoor terrace.

Creighton University Health Science Campus - Phoenix

Opened in 2021, the 195,000-square-foot Phoenix campus is centrally located within the Phoenix Medical Quarter. The facility features cutting-edge technology, equipment and spaces—and enriches Creighton’s Jesuit education. Here, students explore collaborative care and become compassionate leaders in healthcare.
