Aw shucks, folks. Sure you can pass it on - it's sort of off the top of my head, but if it's helpful, I'm glad.

The CPE that WYSIWYG refers to is Clinical Pastoral Education. Many denominations in various countries require one unit - a full-time summer or a part-time year - as a prerequisite to ordination. About half the time is spent on patient care in a hospital, prison or nursing home, and the other half on group and individual personal and professional development. It's VERY intense. In the US, accredited professional chaplains are generally required to have at least four units of CPE - an internship plus a year long full-time residency. All that is in addition to a Masters in Divinity and ordination by a denomination.

These issues tend to come up a lot.
