We love "because its a medical school and I just want to go somewhere"
But in all seriousness it's understandable that you might have difficulty because at the end of the day many medical schools offer similar educational experiences. I can guarantee you however that their emphasis on different parts of the curriculum will vary.
Many medical schools offer free clinics service opportunities but how many schools offer the ability to serve at multiple clinics, with weekly service opportunities in different specialties?
Most medical schools will offer service opportunities, so Creighton is by no means unique in this aspect, however each and every student who graduates from Creighton participates in voluntary service. I think that says something about the culture of our school.
What is the clinical education/opportunities like at each school? Although I can't tell you what it will be like with new curriculum, I can say that Creighton seems to begin teaching clinical exams/interviewing skills much earlier than other schools do (subjective based upon my friends experiences at other schools) and we offer our longitudinal primary care program where you will spend an afternoon every 2 weeks shadowing a family med, IM, or OBGYN doc (this may change to be earlier with new curriculum). This is alot more clinical experience in the first 2 years than many other medical schools that I am aware of.
Does spending 2 years in Omaha and 2 years in phoenix appeal to you? This is another incredibly unique educational opportunity unique to Creighton. If you aren't interested in Phoenix, Does staying in the Midwest appeal to you? that can be a reason of Why Creighton.
Perhaps living in a small city appeals to you, that could be a reason.
We utilize a vital signs mentorship program where each M1 is paired with an M2 (and an M3, M4 going down the line) A group of these student mentors are provided a faculty mentor. This is something I believe is fairly unique to Creighton (I know of some schools that have mentoring of some sort, but lack faculty mentoring components) and provides a strong support structure during your transition into medical school and throughout your education.
Interested in Global Health? over 20% of our class participated in CURA trips this past summer. I know other schools participate in global health experiences however I don't believe they do it to the magnitude (in the sense of number of student participants) as Creighton does.
Do you enjoy a non-competitive atmosphere that is collaborative? Creighton was easily the most relaxed school I visited on the interview trail and is still the most laid-back collaborative medical school environment I know of.
Fostering of your religious beliefs/spirituality could also be an important reason of why to apply to creighton (many catholics/jesuits really like that creighton is jesuit).
In short, there are plenty of things to write about. We have our faults and short comings but Creighton truly is a great medical school that is will offer you a unique and empowering educational experience.
