Message from the Chief Residents
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website, as you make one of the most important decisions of your career. Creighton University offers a solid foundation for education and clinical experience, on which to build as you develop your skills and pursue success in the field of psychiatry.
Psychiatry is a rapidly advancing field which offers great opportunities, and we believe Creighton University’s Psychiatry Residency Program is an excellent choice. Creighton University has a reputation for respecting the psychiatric care of its patients, and the variety of treatment locations (from inpatient psychiatry to medical units to outpatient clinics) offers myriad opportunities for training. Additionally, our location in Omaha, Nebraska, means our residents are able to practice treatment in both urban and rural settings. We diagnose and treat pathologies across the spectrum of psychiatry.
We have multiple faculty members trained in sub-specialty areas including:
- geriatrics
- child and adolescent psychiatry
- forensic psychiatry
- psychosomatic medicine, and
- neuromodulation
- Other faculty have specialized practices in areas such as:
- women’s health
- integrated care
- community psychiatry
- psychodynamic psychotherapy
- telemedicine, and
- research
Creighton University prioritizes resident education, and residents are able to establish lasting mentorship relationships, and are able to pursue their own unique interests.
During our time at Creighton University, we have formed lifelong friendships, expanded our psychiatric knowledge, and developed confidence in our clinical skills. We hope you choose to visit and see for yourself all we have to offer. Best of luck in your future, and we hope to see you soon!
