Use of chaplain interns provides educational opportunities for several professional groups. Learners will exhibit an understanding of potential mechanisms for how spitirual beliefs and activities might positively impact health. Learners will gain insight into spiritual beliefs and practices of faith traditions other than their own, and identify how these might impact health. Learners will assess their own spiritual beliefs and practices. Learners will identify some spiritual issues of the organization and delivery of healthcare.
Evaluation consists of formative and summative measures.
Competency for each objective will be assessed for all learners. A needs assessment using previously developed survey instruments addressing programmatic and personal spiritual beliefs and activities will be performed at the beginning of the year and aspects of that will be repeated yearly.
