Component I - First Year
Component I: New ERA Curriculum
Component I includes eight (8) required Clinically Integrated Blocks (CIB) in addition to interprofessional education activities and selectives. The year begins with a five-week Foundational Science Block that focuses on both social and basic sciences followed by seven sequential blocks generally organized by organ system. The New ERA Curriculum is vertically (organ system) and horizontally (disciplines) integrated.
The most current description of the Component I Curriculum can be viewed in the Medical Curriculum section of the MD Student Handbook on the Creighton website.

Electives
IDC 183 Healer’s Art (0.5 credit hour)
The Healer’s Art course is a medical school elective designed by Rachel Remen, M.D. The course’s innovative educational strategy is based on a discovery model. The Healer’s Art course addresses one of the hidden crises in medicine: the growing loss of meaning and commitment experienced by physicians nationwide under the stress of today’s healthcare system. The course consists of five two-and-a-half-hour evening sessions which occur typically five weeks in a row, each divided into large- and small-group experiences.
FAP 480 M1-COPC Public Health Summer Endowed Research Assistantship
This eight-week summer assistantship exposes students to the COPC process and improves their knowledge about health disparity issues. After the selection process, students will be asked to either identify a research question they have developed which fits the COPC model and seeks to research a health disparity issue in an underserved population or choose from a list of ongoing faculty COPC research projects. Students then will submit the research proposal in conjunction with the grant faculty to the IRB for their approval. As part of the assistantship, students will participate in an orientation program in May at the end of their M1 year which will introduce them to the COPC research model and provide an overview of the faculty’s expectations for this project. Once the research question is selected and approved by the IRB, students will begin to enroll subjects into the research program. It is the expectation of this project that students will continue to work on the research question and enrolling available subjects on a longitudinal basis past the 8-week assistantship. It is also expected students will culminate their research activity by taking FAP481 in the M4 year in order to finish analyzing and writing their manuscripts.
Component II - Second Year
Component II includes seven required Clinically Integrated Blocks (CIB) and a period of preparation of the USMLE Step 1. The M2 year begins with the Renal System followed by six additional system blocks. The last block is followed by a dedicated period of preparation for Step 1 of the United States Medical Licensing Exam® (USMLE®), which includes a Guided Step 1 Review, time for self-directed study, and taking the USMLE® Step 1 exam. The year ends with a combination of orientation and clinical skills training in preparation for the M3 clinical rotations.
The most current description of the Component II Curriculum can be viewed in the Medical Curriculum section of the MD Student Handbook on the Creighton website.

Clinical Education & Simulation Center
The mission of the Simulation Education Center shall be to assist health sciences faculty in the development, implementation, and evaluation of educational sessions for Creighton University health sciences learners at various levels of training. We exist to enhance the learning process and increase learner satisfaction with their educational experiences. We promote faculty development and are committed to the advancement of excellence in education at Creighton University so that graduates are able to provide comprehensive and safe patient care. The goals and objective for all of our activities are designed to provide learners with opportunities to demonstrate clinical competence in a safe and constructive environment. Learners are given opportunities to demonstrate proficiency in a variety of skills, while showing compassion and sensitivity to patient needs and concerns. Learners are taught to work as a team and are encouraged to reflect upon their experiences. Educational sessions are designed to promote an awareness of, and responsiveness to, the larger context and system of health care and the ability to call upon system resources to provide quality patient care. It is our goal to foster professional behavior that acknowledges the mission and vision of Creighton University.
