Internal Medicine Program Leadership

Bradley DeVrieze, MD – Evaluations – Milestone Development, Resident Feedback and Growth

“Our program consistently graduates compassionate internists who are equally capable of stepping into primary care, hospital medicine, or fellowship training. We are growth-minded and strive to adapt quickly to the changing needs of our patients, learners, and society. If you are curious about medicine and passionate about patient care, you should thrive in our program.”

Jaya S. Gupta, MD – VA Educational Experience Lead

“I am a graduate of the Creighton University School of Medicine and Creighton internal medicine residency program. As the Creighton site director for the VA, I act as a liaison for the program and am involved with curriculum and rotation development at the VA. While on rotation at the VA, residents work closely with interdisciplinary teams, have opportunities for simulation training, and gain clinical exposure to high yield internal medicine topics.

As a Jesuit university, Creighton promotes Cura Personalis - caring for the whole person. This is a concept that extends to our patients and trainees alike. I believe resident wellness is a significant strength of our program. During my own training, I was lucky to have phenomenal mentors. The most rewarding part of being faculty is paying that forward to our residents and students. Our faculty invest effort, time, and resources into training highly skilled and compassionate internists . I’m so proud when I see our graduates grow into physician leaders who live out Jesuit values learned at Creighton.”

Paul Millner, MD – Resident Recruitment and Point-of-Care Ultrasound Faculty Champion

“As a recent graduate of the internal medicine program at Creighton University, I have a great appreciation of the unique environment that the program provides. We are blessed to have a great teaching hospital filled with consistent excellent educational opportunities both in general medicine as well as the multiple specialties. In addition, the resident program is a very close-knit group which serves as a much-needed source of support during residency. This program serves residents well in multiple areas including training in general internal medicine, pursuit of fellowships, scholarly activity and leadership roles.”

Giri Andukuri, MD – Quality Improvement and Research/Scholarly Activity

“My passion is continuous quality improvement research and patient safety. I hope to have all students and residents think the QI way and be comfortable with using the methodology. I am also interested in healthcare analytics and predictive modeling of processes. I coordinate and mentor all QI projects for residents. I enjoy teaching residents and students on rounds and like to make them think “why?” in everything they do.”

Joe Nahas, MD – Recruitment

“I am a graduate from Creighton University Medical School and Internal Medicine residency program. The training I received during my internal medicine residency challenged me intellectually and helped me develop into a caring, empathetic physician. After completing my rheumatology fellowship at the University of Colorado, I am excited to have returned to Creighton and join a group of dynamic, motivated physicians who truly care about our medicine residents. The culture at our program is what makes us unique. Our residents not only experience excellent clinical training and participate in numerous scholarly activities, but more importantly, become well rounded physicians who practice with compassion and service.”
