The Clinical Pastoral Education Program offers individuals an opportunity to develop and expand professional caring skills for addressing a person’s spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. Students experience hands-on spiritual care for hospitalized patients.

The Saint Luke’s Health System Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Program in Kansas City, Mo., is committed to the integration of research and research literacy into the CPE curriculum so that our graduates, chaplains and spiritual leaders, are informed about research and its benefits to their ministry.

Saint Luke’s CPE residency is a year-long, full-time program designed for students who wish to deepen their pastoral skills, examine their vocational commitments, and achieve competence in pastoral care ministry.
