课程

Our curriculum is the same for all pathways, and it encompasses three primary themes: occupation, professional practice and professional identity, with themes of 领导 and Ignatian values interwoven.

Interprofessional education (IPE) is a foundational element of the curriculum. All students take an Introduction to Collaborative Care course. Students also take part in the IPE Passport, completing three activities focused on equipping them to take part in interprofessional collaborative practice.

The curriculum builds on the primary themes and culminates in a 博士毕业经历 (DCE). The DCE allows students to explore or expand their knowledge in key focus areas, such as:

  • 高级临床实践
  • 研究
  • 政府
  • 领导
  • 计划和政策的发展
  • 宣传
  • 教育
  • 理论发展

Creighton students graduate equipped with the skills and knowledge to serve their patients and make a difference through healthcare.

Students directly develop their clinical education trajectories with individualized clinical advising from a dedicated team of faculty and staff.

我们强调抽象, forward focused and creative approaches to OT and new innovations in practice, while assessing the needs of the OT profession.
