Creighton University

The Office of Medical Admissions enjoys visiting with prospective students in order to discuss students’ applications and competitiveness for admissions into the Creighton University School of Medicine.  We offer Open Door on Thursday afternoons from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm (Central Time).  Open Door gives students the opportunity to visit with a member of the Admissions staff.  Please feel free to visit or call our office in order to receive answers to your admissions questions.  We look forward to visiting with you.

Open Door does not occur every Thursday.  Please contact the Office of Medical Admissions at 800-325-4405 or 402-280-2799 in order to verify Open Door will be available to you.  Also at this time the Office of Medical Admissions does not offer tours of the School of Medicine.  We apologize if this causes any inconvenience for our visitors.
