Creighton University and St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center are forming tomorrow’s healthcare professionals through a mission-driven, clinical partnership in Arizona.

The opening of Creighton University Health Sciences Campus – Phoenix in 2021 marked a new chapter for healthcare education and delivery in Arizona, directly addressing the regional demand for more compassionate, highly trained healthcare providers.
Today, the Phoenix campus is a vibrant hub for nearly 1,000 learners. Students pursue in-demand healthcare degrees across six crucial disciplines:
Through this powerful clinical partnership, Creighton University students gain invaluable, firsthand clinical experience across a wide spectrum of specialties at St. Joseph's. They are mentored by experienced healthcare practitioners, ensuring focused training in high-quality, patient-centered care. Graduates emerge not only with profound insights and expertise but also the professional connections essential for successful healthcare careers in Arizona.
Beyond student programs, Creighton University and St. Joseph’s proudly collaborate on the formation of over 300 residents and fellows in Phoenix. This comprehensive training develops compassionate and capable providers, further solidifying our commitment to advancing healthcare throughout the region.
The Creighton University Arizona Health Education Alliance is a strategic partnership that includes Creighton University School of Medicine, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Valleywise Health and District Medical Group. Through the Alliance, Creighton’s health sciences learners receive the training necessary to become skilled, compassionate professionals and meet Arizona’s growing healthcare needs.
