Creighton University’s Leading Change through Human-Centered Design (HCD) is a 10-week online course that teaches professionals to solve real workplace challenges using an empathy-driven, practical approach to improvement.

Participants bring a real issue from their organization, such as workflow gaps, care coordination challenges or patient experience concerns, and develop a tested, actionable solution during the course.

Flexible for working professionals and built around collaboration, the course also awards a Certificate of Completion.

As the new year begins, many of us are setting goals. How do we make them sustainable?

Wendy Watson, MD, director of the Creighton University School of Medicine Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship program in Phoenix and Valleywise Health physician, recently spoke with azfamily 3TV CBS 5 about the importance of setting realistic goals. Dr. Watson encourages letting go of perfectionism and giving ourselves grace, a valuable perspective for professionals, students and families as we enter the new year. Shoutout to the two fellows who joined Dr. Watson in-studio!

In 2023, Creighton University School of Medicine welcomed the first cohort of physician assistant students here in Phoenix. Over the past 28 months, these students have grown into highly skilled providers committed to caring for the whole person.

The graduating class celebrated their commencement last week, a milestone that carries even greater significance as Arizona continues to face one of the most pressing healthcare worker shortages in the nation. We are proud to share that half of this inaugural class will remain right here in Arizona, stepping into high-need clinical settings across the Valley. Their dedication and compassion will help strengthen our healthcare workforce and expand access to care for our communities. 🩺
