Forming Compassionate Leaders in Spiritual Care

The Boisen Institute of Clinical Pastoral Education is dedicated to preparing chaplains, spiritual caregivers, pastoral counselors, and faith leaders for transformative ministry in healthcare, community, institutional, and congregational settings.
Inspired by the legacy of clinical pastoral formation, we combine theological reflection, supervised clinical experience, interdisciplinary learning, and human-centered care to develop spiritually grounded and professionally competent caregivers.
At the Boisen Institute, we believe that compassionate presence can become a powerful instrument of healing, dignity, and hope.
