I have over 10 years of experience in managing clinical pastoral education programs. I have successfully developed and implemented curriculum, supervised students, and collaborated with healthcare teams to ensure a holistic approach to patient care. My experience includes overseeing multiple CPE centers and ensuring compliance with accreditation standards.

I address conflicts by fostering open communication and active listening. I facilitate dialogue to understand each party's perspective and work towards a mutually agreeable resolution. My approach includes mediation and conflict resolution training to equip students and staff with the skills needed to handle disagreements constructively.

I use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate program effectiveness. This includes student feedback surveys, performance assessments, and peer reviews. I also conduct regular program audits to ensure alignment with accreditation standards and make necessary adjustments based on evaluation outcomes.

I ensure our program meets diverse needs by incorporating a variety of spiritual care approaches and cultural competency training for students. I also collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to identify and address patient needs proactively. Regular assessments and feedback loops help us continuously improve our services.

A challenging situation was when a student struggled with empathy and patient interactions. I addressed this by providing one-on-one mentorship, role-playing exercises, and reflective supervision sessions. Over time, the student improved their skills and developed a deeper understanding of compassionate care, demonstrating significant growth by the end of the program.
