Clinical Pastoral Education in Central and West Florida

CPE brings theological students, clergy persons, religious community members, and qualified lay persons into supervised ministry encounters with the critical human experience of the clinical environment, the “living human document”. An inductive learning process is the foundation of this method of pastoral care formation, skill, identity development and interpersonal competence.

Ministry and pastoral care with people in crisis is at the heart of learning through reflection, discussion and critical evaluation with other students and the supervisor.
