We have 2 Pastoral care training programs. The first one is for volunteers who want to either volunteer in the hospital or use the training in their own faith tradition. The second requires attending the first training, and is focused on those who are at the end of life. We call our end of life volunteers Doulas. The instructor for both volunteer training programs is a former CPE supervisor. Both programs have 30 hrs of class time and 10 hrs of clinical visiting. All the volunteers have chaplain mentors. We are in the second year of the Doula program with a total of 10 volunteers. It has been very well accepted by not only our Palliative care team, but other units as well. Let me know if you would like information about our programs
