School of Medicine — Scholarships for Underrepresented Students
For the School of Medicine — for all of Creighton University — scholarships are a huge priority and key to a more diverse campus.
Your gift to this fund will support scholarships for medical students from underrepresented groups. These scholarships will allow a greater diversity of students to choose Creighton for their medical education.
More diversity in medical school benefits all students as they learn about their shared humanity — and the humanity of their patients — from one another.
School of Medicine students are taught to treat not just disease or injury but each unique patient they have the privilege to care for.
A mission of justice
The School of Medicine embraces a mission rooted in the Jesuit values of inclusivity and justice.
We emphasize the humanities throughout medical school to help our students appreciate what it means to be human. And to embrace the rich diversity of humanity.
"We owe it to all of our students, to our patients, to medicine itself, to ensure that our classes better reflect the diversity of the patients they will serve. For our graduates to care for the whole person, they must learn not just from us but from each other. They must learn to see the world through one another's eyes."
— Fr. Jim Clifton, SJ, Associate Dean for Mission in the School of Medicine
Meeting the moment
Creighton’s School of Medicine stands at a significant moment. We’re looking back on nearly 130 years of health care education but also looking ahead to the rapidly shifting landscape of our profession.
We are ready to meet the moment. With our clinical partners in Omaha and Phoenix, we are preparing some of the most clinic-ready physicians in the country to help meet a growing need for health care professionals.
As we build upon our expertise in medical education and research, our guiding Jesuit values will continue to show us the way forward — developing women and men of competence and compassion, doing all things for the greater glory of God.
