Clinical Pastoral Education-University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Clinical Pastoral Education training program focuses on the development of self-awareness, formation of pastoral identity, professional pastoral functioning, and the ability to address issues from a competent clinical and pastoral perspective.

The CPE residency program is designed for the ordained person with a seminary degree and at least one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education.  Residency stipend: $25,500 plus medical benefits.

On occasion, a lay person may qualify for admission. CPE residents and interns serve as ecumenical chaplains, under supervision, to assigned areas throughout the UAMS Medical Center and clinics. The setting provides a rich base for clinical experience and opportunities for continued personal, professional and pastoral development.

The Part-time Extended Unit of CPE is designed for busy individuals who wish to complete CPE training on over an extended period of time on a part-time basis. This is not a stipended position.

The UAMS Clinical Pastoral Training programs follow the standards set by the College of Pastoral Supervision & Psychotherapy (CPSP), the accrediting organization.

A typical unit of CPE requires a minimum of 400 hours of supervised ministry in a clinical setting.

Both CPE training opportunities carry on call responsibilities.

We quote a response provided from the Medicare office: “The regulations cite the ACPE as an example of a national professional organization that would be sufficient as the accrediting body. However, the regulation at section 413.85(e) also specifically state that the accrediting bodies are “not limited to” the cited organizations. While programs that are accredited by the ACPE meet CMS definition of an Approved Nur
