The group consisted of people throughout the US, of various backgrounds, different religious beliefs, and unique chaplain responsibilities. Bringing their experiences and their knowledge together for three hours a night to discuss, review a situation is nothing short of phenomenal. I honestly learned more in this one unit than I did in my first two units sitting in a classroom. Our classroom experiences were limited to our local community, and since it was hospital based, much of what we discussed was limited. Thank you CPEI!

CPE was a great experience for me, even with over 25 years of pastoral care experience in church ministry. I was trained and empowered to meet and serve people of all kinds of backgrounds who were experiencing a health concern and its impact on their whole life and relationships. I developed skills and practices that have enhanced my life in all it's dimensions. Beyond the learning and self-reflection, CPE allowed me to serve needs of people in very meaningful ways and to do so as part of the health care team of WRMC. I highly recommend CPE through CPE-I and it's provision at WRMC for any person who wants to make a difference for others, grow personally and open up new horizons in their life.

I have had the honor of going through the CPEI Supervisor Training program. I began my training in Jan. of 2020, and continued my training throughout the pandemic under CJ Malone at Washington Regional Hospital, until I finished in May of last year. Through all of the challenges brought on by the pandemic, I was still able to receive quality and timely education, well preparing me for the vital work I do with students at present through the Merchab Institute. Finally, I would highly recommend our organization as a training source and ongoing support system for any person interested in growing personally and professionally in their chaplain journey.
