About the CPE program
The fulltime CPE program requires 40 hours involvement each week. The program runs Monday
through Friday from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. Each chaplain serves as the duty chaplain once every ten
days, which includes sleeping overnight in the hospital. Each day begins with all chaplains meeting for a
morning reflection and report time. The next six hours of the day are unscheduled so that the CPE
student can be involved in the life of the two floors that they will be covering as the chaplain. Each
afternoon the CPE students participate in group learning activities. Twice each week pastoral reports
(verbatims) are presented by the CPE students. Twice each week there is an unstructured group meeting
in which chaplains raise learning issues. Once each week there is a seminar on pastoral care, which often
is presented by a specialist on a topic central to their professional specialty. We end the week with a
noninteractive reflection session in which chaplains theologize from their faith perspective. Each week
there is individual supervision with one of the CPE supervisors. Everyone is required to write a goals
statement, at least six pastoral reports, and a final self-appraisal. Reading is assigned as needed.
