Professor
Born in Connecticut, Dr. Creelman received his undergraduate degree in biology, philosophy and theology from Boston College. Teaching at Boston College High School for a year, he then attended Georgetown University School of Medicine. Finishing an internship at Hartford Hospital (Connecticut), he then completed a Psychiatric Residency at The Institute of Living where he founded the Psychopharmacology Consultation Service and served as an assistant service chief. He then spent eight years at the Maine Medical Center as Chief of Psychopharmacology, director of psychiatric research and an administrator of both the inpatient and outpatient divisions. As a member of the faculty of the University of Vermont College of Medicine, he conducted several phase three drug trials in psychopharmacology.
He was then recruited to Buffalo, New York where he held the progressive positions of Corporate Medical Director/COO of the BryLin Hospitals, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Millard Fillmore Health System and President/Corporate Medical Director of the Western New York Behavioral Medicine and Psychotherapies, PLLC. An associate clinical professorship at the State University of New York allowed for resident supervision and psychopharmacology teaching.
Prior to joining the University of Florida faculty in September of 2006, Dr. Creelman was a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, Psychiatry Clerkship Director at the Grand Rapids Campus, Behavioral Medical Director for Care Choices HMO of Michigan and EVP/Chief Medical Officer at the Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services.
Currently, Dr. Creelman splits his time between supervising residents and teaching psychopharmacology in the UF Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic at Shands Medical Plaza and serving as the medical executive director at the Northeast Florida State Hospital in Macclenny. He is Board Certified in General Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Holding masters’ degrees in both Medical Management (Tulane University School of Public Health) and business administration (Medaille College), he has over 25 years of medical management experience in the behavioral medical arena.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Creelman’s primary clinical interest is in the area of community psychiatry and treatment of the chronic and persistently mentally ill patient. Overseeing the clinical operations of a 600+ bed state psychiatric facility and community CSU offers an opportunity to address the recovery needs and goals of this most vulnerable population.
