Ethan Adler, CHAVER (Caring Helpers and Visitors Empower Residents) coordinator is taking part in a 20 week CPE training session to become a hospital Chaplain. Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is an intensive experiential educational program for pastors and religious leaders interested in developing their clinical skills. Students engage in pastoral work and reflect on their experience with a trained supervisor and a peer group. Key areas for learning include integrating theology into pastoral practice, formation as a religious leader, and self-reflection and knowledge.
The Chaplaincy Center of RI is teaching this class. Currently, Ethan is visiting with Jewish patients at the Rhode Island Hospital.
