Responding To Research: Matching Expressed Learning Needs With What Chaplains Do Best
Presented by Robert Mundle, MDiv, ThM, STM, RP
Thursday, May 17, 2018
Program Summary
This webinar will demonstrate how chaplains can apply current research literature to their clinical practice and broaden their professional profiles as educators, qualitative interviewers, and authors. Responding to specific expressed learning needs of hospice palliative care volunteers for more communication skills training in end of life care, the presenter will share details from his latest research project on listening and listeners that will be published in a forthcoming journal article and book. The webinar will also address creative approaches to spiritual health assessment and intervention, including topics of narrative identity and expression, symbols and metaphors, poetry, and personal objects.
Program Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Read research articles for actionable next steps.
- Apply chaplaincy skills beyond direct clinical practice.
- Expand inter-professional relationships and networks.
