First Interprofessional Train-the-Trainer Spiritual Care Education Curriculum (ISPEC)

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering our First Interprofessional Train-the-Trainer Spiritual Care Education Curriculum (ISPEC) on July 10th-12th, 2018 at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. ISPEC is the first spiritual care curriculum to be developed for the global level which offers a theoretically and research-grounded curriculum for teaching inter-professional spiritual care.The goal of this program is to build leaders in hospitals and clinical settings in the US and other countries in innovative models of interprofessional spiritual care. We invite chaplain- clinician pairs to attend the training. This is a great opportunity for building collaborative partnerships between spiritual care professionals and clinicians in advancing spiritual care. The Application deadline is April 2, 2018.

We also are excited to offer our Annual Art of Presence Health Care Renewal Retreat again which will be held on August 16-22, 2018. This retreat is a wonderful opportunity for healthcare professionals as well as professionals open to deepening their spiritual lives to find renewal and self-care in an amazing location in Assisi, Italy.
