Gundersen Health System is looking for a new ACPE Certified Educator.

As a well-resourced department with Health System and Medical Foundation support, our Certified Educator is able to focus on:

• Working with students and developing the CPE Program rather than department administration.

• Working collaboratively with our Clinical Manager of Spiritual Care who is a strong believer in CPE & will provide support that a healthy CPE Program needs

​

What you will need:

• Preferably National Faculty distinction or CEC in Phase 2
• 1 year full time chaplaincy experience after completion of at least 4 units of CPE
• Masters of Divinity degree or equivalent educational qualifications

We have support to hire contract Educators as needed to augment the program.  We are open to flexing our program dates and virtual options as needed for a new Educator to get up and running.

Our Spiritual Care Department is a diverse and joyful community of staff chaplains, on-call chaplains, students, volunteers, and staff.  We value and celebrate a pluralistic community, communal decision making and healthy conflict, and having fun together as we care for the spiritual needs of patients, families, staff, and students.  Gundersen is dedicated to staff flourishing which makes it a great place to work and grow your career.

We are looking to hire a Certified Educator to join our community of Spiritual Care (preferably with National Faculty distinction) or CEC in Phase 2 (nearing certification) to guide and grow our program of CECs, Residents, and Interns and.  We are a department in growth as Bellin Health and Gundersen Health just completed a merger of equals and we are hoping to grow our CPE Program to include the community of Green Bay in the future. We are also hoping to capitalize on our great relationships with our Palliative Care service and our Behavioral Health teams to offer 2nd year residencies with these foci moving forward.  Many exciting possibilities exist for our next Certified Educator!
