Compassionate Care Education for Service Professionals
The Shaw Chaplaincy Institute offers a wide variety of academic and experiential programs for qualified individuals who seek further development of their spiritual care and compassionate leadership skills—from master’s degree concentrations to continuing education for nurses, physicians, lawyers, social workers, and current chaplains looking to enhance their caregiving skills. In recognition of the social structures, web of connections, interdisciplinary and faith traditions represented in sociopolitical life and community, we place curricular concepts in the context of real-life situations where service-learning connects students to a community of service.
How to Make a Hospital Visit
