Nebraska-based Creighton University announced Tuesday that it will open a four-year medical school in Arizona as part of a $100 million expansion into midtown Phoenix.
Officials with the Jesuit university say that the soon-to-be-built Phoenix health sciences campus will train not only doctors but other future health professionals, including nurses and physician assistants.
The new medical campus will be on the old Park Central Mall property on the northwest corner of North Central Avenue and West Catalina Drive, across from the Bank of America building.
The medical school will be a branch of Creighton University in Omaha and for at least the near future will not be a separately accredited medical school, officials said.
