Meet Our Chief: John Michael Horne, MD
I joined Creighton faculty because of its culture and accessibility to great mentors who are not only great leaders but are very supportive and caring. During my fellowship here, I had the privilege of working alongside ID faculty who helped to guide me in my career. Creighton also offers an exceptional learning environment for students, residents, fellows, and faculty alike. I look forward to and enjoy coming to work each day as I am able to live out the mission of CU and treat the mind, body, and spirit in a great patient population.
Infectious Diseases is one of the most dynamic and intellectually engaging fields in medicine. Is a bacteria, a virus, a fungus, or a parasite that is causing the problem? Infections can affect every organ system — which means we collaborate with every other specialty in medicine. A patient’s story is especially important: where they have traveled, who they’ve been around, and what pets do they have? ID is for physicians who value curiosity, teamwork, and impact. Creighton is a wonderful place to train and work, and the friendly atmosphere and supportive culture make it especially rewarding.
