PC 655 Clinical Pastoral Education

Tapiwa N. Mucherera

CPE is offered in a number of different kinds of settings. In many of the settings, such as general hospitals, mental health facilities, correctional institutions, children’s hospitals, and nursing homes, ministry is provided to individuals, families, and small groups of people as a chaplain. CPE may, however, be done in any setting where ministry happens. There are a growing number of centers with innovative approaches to ministry. As a part of the application process, students are encouraged to clarify with a center the types of ministries that occur in that setting.
