Creighton School of Medicine

For more than a decade, Creighton has had an academic presence in Phoenix, sending medical students to Dignity Health St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center for clinical rotations. That relationship expanded in 2009 when the University and St. Joseph’s formally established a Creighton campus for third- and fourth-year students. In 2018, it was announced that Creighton would expand once again—this time opening a full four-year medical school campus in Phoenix to become the largest Catholic health professions educator in the nation.
