Clinical Pastoral Education Residency Program
In the CPE residency program, you'll be a part of an engaging, dynamic and effective training program with an ACPE Certified Educator. We use the action-reflection model of learning and experience-based learning methods to encourage you to become a reflective spiritual care practitioner in the medical field so you can serve patients, family members, and others at the hospital.
Level I: This is a course where you'll learn the basic skills of spiritual care. It helps students develop their identity as a professional spiritual care provider and learn some basic skills like active listening, grief support, assessment of group dynamic, self-awareness, crisis intervention, spiritual assessment, and cultural, religious and spiritual diversity.
Level II: In this more advanced course the goal is to integrate what students learned from Level I into their spiritual care ministry at the hospital.
Certified Educator CPE Level: This level is for those who’ve finished Level I and Level II and are interested in becoming an ACPE certified educator.
