Clinical Pastoral Education
Level II Residency Program
You are training for ministry, a profession which calls for a wide variety of
skills and knowledge. Being a pastor, a minister, a rabbi or priest means being
with people in the whole gamut of human experiences and bringing spiritual or
religious perspectives to life in those moments. Developing that ability
requires pastoral experience, skilled supervision, and a process of working with
and learning from other professionals. Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical
Center offers you a richness and depth in all these areas.
September through August
The Resident Chaplain program is for pastors and other professionals in ministry
who are interested in further training in pastoral care or a specialty in
hospital chaplaincy. It requires at least one and preferably two prior Units of
CPE. Currently there are five full-time positions. The Residency program has a
stipend and benefits package.
All housing arrangements must be made by the students. Meals may be secured
in the hospital cafeteria. Meals during on-call are paid for by the hospital.
Parking is available at a student rate. Commuting students from beyond a 30 mile
radius will be accepted in the program only after discussion of travel plans.
