Training Environment

York Hospital

At York Hospital clinical assignments link students to patients, families, and staff of a particular service line including inpatients and outpatients. Service lines are Behavioral Health, Cardiovascular, Medical, Oncology, Surgery, and Women/Children. There is also a clinical placement (for Chaplain Residents only) at Memorial Hospital, a small community hospital a few miles away.

This focused experience is augmented by the experience of being the "on call" chaplain. The "on call" chaplain is responsible for provision of pastoral care throughout the hospital at night, on weekends, and on holidays.

Programs available at York Hospital are Extended CPE, Summer CPE and CPE Residency.

Gettysburg Hospital

Student assignments are in settings that provide diversity, with the emphasis on community health and extensive involvement in clinical placements outside the hospital. Through individual supervision and a variety of seminars, we provide the CPE student with an opportunity to learn from experience, through active reflection on ministry.
