Clinical Pastoral Care

The Clinical Theology (CT) program in Clinical Pastoral Care includes various methods of online class lectures and seminars with applied learning components:

​​

• Students participate in class lectures offered online

• Students journal their learning in weekly reflection  with significant experiences with patients and thoughts about ministry.

• Students learn verbatim and how to create case studies that outline interactions with patients or counselees.

• Students engage in mentoring or supervisory sessions with experienced CT supervisors. This will be conducted using online technology.

• Students participate in online reviews with the Board of Examiners.

• CT students partake in 2 semesters (1200 hours or 4 Units) of supervised clinical training at their current place of ministry or community organizations.
