Clinical Pastoral Education Training at UAMS Medical Center
|
The CPE program at UAMS Medical Center has a history that extends over twenty
years. Chaplain interns and residents serve as hospital chaplains and provide
pastoral care and counseling to inpatients, families and hospital staff. Each
chaplain in training is assigned to a number of floors and units, providing an
opportunity for the trainee to experience the full range of care settings in a
modern medical facility. The trainees are required to provide 24 hours on-call
coverage for the Medical Center. In addition, each trainee is required to
present case studies, attend didactic seminars, provide written reflections upon
reading reviews, meet with their supervisors for individual supervision sessions,
conduct a weekly ecumenical worship service and take part in group relations
seminars. |
