RESEARCH NETWORK WORKSHOP
November 12, 2004, Portland ME

The Research Network presented at the 2004 national conference of the ACPE in Portland ME the workshop, Adding Research to a CPE Curriculum: Challenging Students to Think Critically .

DESCRIPTION: Familiarity with research methodology can help CPE students think critically about pastoral care, about what knowledge or assumptions form the bases of their practice of chaplaincy, and about how to assess the value of the growing body of literature on the relationship between spirituality and health. The discipline of research can add much to the CPE educational process, and this workshop focused on various ways to incorporate a research component into the curriculum. Members of the ACPE Research Network not only addressed strategies for student "research projects" but discussed program options for non-researchers. Curriculum materials were offered.
The presenters were: Ralph C. Ciampa, Supervisor, University of Pennsylvania Health System, Philadelphia PA; John Ehman, Chaplain, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center-Presbyterian, Philadelphia PA; Margot Hover, Supervisor, St. Louis CPE Cluster/Barnes Jewish Hospital Community-based Program, St. Louis MO; and John B. Pumphrey, Supervisor, Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia PA.
