Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) has become a well-known trademark in healthcare chaplaincy. Not only does the program serve the educational needs of those in the health care chaplaincy profession, but CPE has become a program model for schools that offer Supervised Ministry programs (practicum); however, a keen review of the juxtaposition of the CPE curriculum with its corporate identity reveals inconsistency and disparity. A logical conclusion: this calls for a change to the corporate or program name.
