Abstract

Creighton University is a Jesuit university, rooted in the Catholic tradition, located in Omaha, Nebraska. It is a complex institution, with a broad range of professional education programs that brings together on one campus nine different undergraduate, graduate and professional schools. Despite the complexity, there is a rich tradition of faculty collaboration and interprofessional engagement. This is particularly true within the health professions programs. In 2005, associate deans for education from the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Pharmacy and Health Professions, along with the Director of Medical Education Development and Assessment from the School of Medicine, convened to explore the possibility of a collaborative faculty development opportunity.
