CPE Resident Didactic: Introduction to Research

CPE Resident Didactic: Introduction to Research

In this seminar, the residents will learn basic concepts about research by reviewing research articles whose findings are relevant for health care ministry. The aim of the seminar is to help chaplain residents integrate findings from research into their ministry without sacrificing essential values such as empathic presence. The seminar will also include a brief introduction to the ethics of research. The overall aim of the seminar is not to turn chaplains into researchers, but to help chaplains become informed research consumers.
