Abstract
Chaplaincy Today • Volume 23 Number 1 • Spring/Summer 2007 For my third unit of clinical pastoral education (CPE), I asked to work in oncology. I quickly found that oncology chaplaincy offered unique challenges for which I was unprepared. Prior to starting my first internship as an oncology chaplain, I looked in vain for the equivalent of “Oncology Chaplaincy for Beginners” to guide me. Although I still have much to learn, after two units as an oncology chaplain, I believe I have enough experience to safely share some of what I’ve learned, specifically how this specialty differs from other types of chaplaincy. I hope my experience will be helpful to chaplains beginning work in this area.
