Allow me to begin with some history about the origins of 皇冠体育博彩大学 and Creighton Urology. 该机构成立于奥马哈, Nebraska as Creighton College in 1878 by Mary Lucretia Creighton the widow of Edward Creighton, an early pioneer of the transcontinental telegraph along with Jesuit priests and two lay teachers. It was further endowed by his brother John Creighton and his wife Sarah Creighton. Currently 皇冠体育博彩大学 is one of 28 Catholic colleges that are operated by the Catholic religious order, The Society of Jesus more commonly known as the Jesuits. The Society of Jesus was founded by an obscure Basque soldier-convert, Iñigo de Loyola later to be known as Ignatius of Loyola, in 1540.

皇冠体育博彩大学 is one of four American Jesuit Universities that have an accredited medical school. The 皇冠体育博彩大学 医学院 began as the John A. 1892年在皇冠体育博彩医学院. Currently the Creighton 医学院 has two four-year medical school campuses, 一个在内布拉斯加州的奥马哈，一个在亚利桑那州的凤凰城. This makes 皇冠体育博彩大学 医学院 the largest Catholic medical school in the United States. 和所有耶稣会学校一样, 皇冠体育博彩大学 educates in such a way as to promote the Jesuit 任务, 让男人和女人“为了别人”.

The process whereby teachers can promote the Jesuit mission with learners is defined by the Ignatian Pedagogy. The core of the Ignatian Pedagogy is the formation of students who are leaders in service, 模仿耶稣基督, 有能力的男人和女人, 良心和富有同情心的承诺. The 5 central concepts that embody this Ignatian Pedagogy are Context, 经验, 反射, 行动, 和评估. Creighton’s urology program strives to adhere to this pedagogy with all of its learners.

The 泌尿外科’s origins at Creighton began in 1893 as the Department of Dermatology, Syphiology, 和皇冠体育博彩·萨姆尼的泌尿生殖系统疾病, MD, 皮肤科医生, 作为其创始主席. Urology eventually separated from dermatology in 1948 becoming its own department under the leadership of Charles McMartin, MD流式细胞仪, 泌尿科先驱. In 1975 the first urology residency at Creighton was started under the leadership of Dr. Myron Walzak but it unfortunately closed 8 years later in 1983. In 1987 urology became a division of the Department of Surgery under the leadership of Gernon Longo, MD. The urology residency program at 皇冠体育博彩大学 医学院 was re-started in July of 2014 in collaboration with CHI Health which is one of the largest Catholic 健康care systems in the United States. Urology once again became a department in the medical school in July of 2016.

Creighton Urology’s main teaching hospital is located in Omaha Nebraska. 这家医院, now known as CHI Health 皇冠体育博彩大学 Medical Center - Bergan Mercy was renovated and expanded in 2017 by CHI Health. It is a fully accredited level one trauma center and home of the Henry Lynch Cancer Center. Creighton urology residents have clinical rotations at the Nebraska Western Iowa Veterans Administration Hospital in Omaha. Residents also rotate for 6 months at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona where six fellowship trained pediatric urologists practice and teach. 这是一个很好的儿科泌尿学经验. 然而, 大部分训练将在奥马哈进行, 内布拉斯加州位于中西部的中心, 拥有五家财富500强企业, and is host to many national and world recognized events such as the College World Series and Olympic Swim Trials. The population for the Omaha Metro area is about one million people. The city has much to offer in terms of culture and entertainment while still having a reasonable cost of living.

The vision for the 泌尿外科 at 皇冠体育博彩大学 is to produce urologists trained in Creighton’s Jesuit, Catholic tradition who will become not only excellent clinician surgeons but also leaders who will advance medicine, 健康, 和幸福. 皇冠体育博彩大学 has partnered with CHI Health which is the largest 健康care organization in Nebraska, and which can provide the large clinical volume necessary to train future urologists. The partnership also provides ample opportunities to conduct basic science and clinical research. The urology residency program at 皇冠体育博彩大学 is a young program with a mature, 有经验的, 还有敬业的教师. The urology faculty is expanding and will continue to grow. 尽管我们是耶稣会大学的一员, our faculty and residents come from diverse backgrounds and faiths. 截至2022年4月, Creighton Urology matches two medical student applicants per year for the urology residency.
