RWJUH has one of the largest and oldest CPE programs in the state, educating many individuals who have gone on to serve hospitals both here and abroad. During the past year alone, our students and residents completed more than 3,740 hours of service to our patients.
CPE focuses on psychodynamic and experiential learning to prepare individuals to improve their spiritual caregiving. It is part of the requirements to become a Board Certified Chaplain.
Congratulations to all of this year’s graduates.
