Health Sciences Simulation NEW
Interprofessional, Hands-On Learning
Simulation experiences at Creighton offer a unique opportunity for students to build skills and confidence by practicing in highly realistic clinical environments without risk to patients. Through guided repetition, students experience the outcomes of clinical decisions, strengthen judgment and develop competency in situations that mirror real-world care.
Each simulation concludes with a structured debrief designed to connect concepts to practice, examine decision-making and integrate feedback. Grounded in Creighton’s Jesuit, Catholic tradition and guided by cura personalis—care for the whole person—these innovative, evidence-based experiences prepare learners to excel in collaborative, interprofessional healthcare.
Mission and Vision
Vision: Leading the world in interprofessional healthcare simulation education and research that focuses on cura personalis or care for the entire person.
Mission: Guided by the Jesuit traditions of Creighton University, we offer exemplary evidence-based simulation experiences that prepare our learners to succeed in collaborative, team-based healthcare.
Standardized Patient Program
If you enjoy interacting with people, supporting student learning and offering constructive feedback, we invite you to consider becoming a standardized patient. No prior healthcare experience is required, and we hire individuals from a wide range of backgrounds. If you are hired, you’ll receive training to accurately represent a patient’s history, body language, personality and emotional state. After each encounter, standardized patients provide meaningful feedback from the patient’s point of view, helping students identify strengths and areas for improvement. You can apply to be a standardized patient at either our main campus in Omaha campus or at our Phoenix Health Sciences campus.
