Spiritual Life and Formation in CPE
Informed Consent:
You are invited to participate in a research study about the effect of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) on your spiritual life and formation. Through a series of open-ended questions, the goal of this research study is to pilot an exploration of how CPE students would describe any changes to their spirituality and/or connection with God as a result of their experiences in CPE.
This study is being conducted by Chaplain Megan Alleman, ACPE Certified Educator Candidate and DMin student at Union Theological Seminary, contact: ma6750@utsnyc.edu under the supervision of Dr. Pamela Cooper-White, Thesis Advisor and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean, Union Theological Seminary, contact pcooperwhite@uts.columbia.edu Participation in this study is voluntary. If you agree to participate in this study, your informed consent is gathered by participating in the survey. Participating in this study may not benefit you directly, but it will help us learn about how students' spiritual lives are effected by CPE curriculum and experiences. You may find answering some of the questions upsetting, but we expect that this would not be different from the kinds of things you discuss with family or friends. You may skip any questions you don’t want to answer and you may end the survey at any time. The information you will share with us if you participate in this study will be kept completely confidential to the full extent of the law.
