Program Identity & Fit

Creighton's Family Medicine Residency is a Jesuit, mission-driven academic program in Omaha whose identity centers on comprehensive, whole-person primary care for an underserved urban population — patients from downtown Omaha shelters, refugee communities from Southeast Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and Creighton's own student population — supplemented by an ACGME-accredited Rural Training Track that places residents in a critical-access hospital in Nebraska City. Clinical training spans a level 1 trauma center (Bergan Mercy) and an unopposed OB program at Immanuel, with an interprofessional care model integrating pharmacy, behavioral medicine, social work and psychiatry residents into visits. QI/research is faculty-supported and community-health-focused rather than bench-science oriented, with recurring awarded projects on food insecurity and interprofessional care, and career support extends to in-house OB fellowship training and pathways toward sports, sleep, geriatrics and ER fellowships. The program explicitly frames its mission as training physician-advocates for the medically underserved and healthcare disparities reduction, valuing inclusivity, community leadership, and longitudinal relationship-building over pure clinical volume or subspecialty prestige.

Who it fits

An applicant whose ERAS narrative centers on service to underserved, immigrant/refugee, or rural populations and who articulates family medicine as a vehicle for community advocacy and whole-person care rather than a stepping-stone to subspecialization.

Research intensity

Low - QI and research are available and faculty-mentored on a monthly basis but framed as community-health improvement projects, not a central program pillar.

Career orientation

Mixed - Community Practice, Primary Care

Important

The program emphasizes mission-alignment with serving the medically underserved, inclusivity across all backgrounds, and (for the Rural Training Track) an explicit orientation toward candidates seeking to become rural physicians in a critical-access hospital setting.
