Message from the Neurology Dept. Chair

Welcome to the Department of Neurology at Creighton University School of Medicine.
I am deeply honored to lead this outstanding team of neurologists and neuroscientists into a new era of innovation, initiatives, and growth. Located in a beautiful and vibrant city, Creighton University School of Medicine was founded in 1892 and our alumni practice all over the country, in both academic and private settings.
Inspired by the core value of “cura personalis”, meaning care for the whole person, we strive to deliver high quality inpatient and outpatient care across all neurological specialties. With many satellite clinic locations all over the Omaha area, we provide convenient, easy to access care, with state- of- the- art treatment options. Our physicians are committed to providing innovative care for neurological intensive care, stroke, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating disorders, epilepsy, neuromuscular diseases, and general neurology. In addition to fulfilling our main mission of excellence in patient care, learning, and teaching our trainees, we strive for innovation and ground-breaking basic, translational, and clinical research in all fields of neurology.
The Department has a long tradition of excellence in the education of future leaders. Over the last 5 years, the number of Creighton students interested in pursuing careers in Neurology has greatly increased. The strong partnership between the Medical School and CHI Health enables our residents to experience the best of both worlds, both academically and clinically. Our goal is to teach and prepare our trainees to become the best clinicians, educators, and scientists and to pursue prestigious fellowships. Flexibility within our residency program allows our trainees to participate in research projects and present in national and international conferences. We are immensely proud of the diversity of our residency program, and we are deeply committed to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion not only in our residency program but also between faculty and underserved populations.
