Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is a form of chaplaincy internship in which students are taught through hands-on practice, clinical supervision and academic study. The online CPE program offered through our academic partner, the Institute for Clinical Pastoral Training (ICPT), is built around convenience and accessibility. This is a unique faith experience in education for persons seeking personal and professional growth, and competence in spiritual care.
In CPE, the faculty works to develop a learning environment that is supportive and stimulating, and where students feel confident to risk interpersonal growth and learning through this cutting-edge program of instruction. Clinical hours are completed at your current place of ministry or at a variety of options near you. Here is the link: https://www.icpt.edu/enroll.html
