What is a CPE resident chaplain?

A CPE (Clinical Pastoral Education) Resident Chaplain is a chaplain-in-training who provides spiritual care to patients, families, and healthcare staff in a clinical setting, such as a hospital. This is typically a full-time, supervised program where residents complete multiple units of CPE to develop their pastoral care skills. They engage in bedside ministry, participate in interdisciplinary teams, and reflect on their experiences through education and peer discussions. The goal is to enhance their ability to offer compassionate, inclusive, and faith-sensitive support to individuals in crisis.

You may be assigned to specific hospital units where you conduct patient rounds, respond to crisis calls, and document your encounters according to hospital protocols. Collaboration with nurses, social workers, physicians, and other chaplains is common as you work together to address the holistic needs of patients. Additionally, you’ll engage in regular reflection and feedback sessions as part of your clinical education, which helps enhance your pastoral skills and personal growth.
