Clinical pastoral education program | veterans affairs

CENTRAL SAVANNAH RIVER AREA CLINICAL PASTORAL EDUCATION PROGRAM Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is interfaith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and

ministers into supervised encounters with persons in distress. Out of an intense involvement with persons in need and the feedback from peers and teachers, students develop a new awareness

of themselves as persons and of the needs for whom they minister. From theological reflection on specific human situations, students gain a new understanding of ministry. Within the

interdisciplinary team process of helping persons, students develop skills in interpersonal and inter-professional relationships. CPE is designed for people at various stages of life, for

example, persons seeking to become board certified chaplains, clergy seeking continuing education, laity wanting to explore/develop themselves as pastoral caregivers, and seminarians

preparing for ministry.  Charlie Norwood Veterans Affairs Medical Center One Freedom Way Augusta, Georgia 30904   OFFERING: * LEVEL I CPE * LEVEL II CPE * ONE YEAR RESIDENCY & EXTENDED
