Buen Vivir Clinical Pastoral Education
Buen Vivir CPE is an ACPE-accredited online community-based program that requires students to complete their clinical hours in various settings such as congregations, community organizations, hospices, assisted living care homes, agencies, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, medical centers, and palliative care facilities.
​
Our students can also provide their services in parishes, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, correctional facilities, military chaplaincy, schools and universities, mental health facilities, homeless shelters, and disaster relief organizations. These environments offer numerous opportunities for chaplains to provide spiritual care and support to diverse populations.
​We offer our courses in both Spanish and English.
