The Chaplain Residency Program begins in September and ends the following August.

Benefits include:

		$20,000 salary, free individual medical insurance and dental insurance (family plans are available for a small monthly payment)
		26 days PTO (Paid Time Off) for vacation, illness and holiday
		5 days EDT (Educational/Denominational Time) for seminars and religious/denominational meetings
		Pharmaceutical discounts
		Free parking
		Meal ticket while "on call"

The Chaplain Residency Program provides a variety of ministry settings that ensure that each person receives an opportunity to specialize in two clinical areas. There are eight pastoral specialities available: Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine, Trauma Neuroscience, Oncology, Cardiology, Neonatal Maternity and Behavioral Health.

On-call experience offers extensive exposure to all of the areas. The educational emphasis also prepares the participants for ministry in nonhospital settings, such as ministry in churches, hospice chaplaincy, pastoral counseling preparation and specialized ministry.

A Second-Year Residency Program is offered to those who wish further extensive and intensive training in ministry. Some of these students may wish to pursue supervisory education or a particular specialty which requires further training. Second-year residents assume some administrative responsibilities, offer staff education, as well as community education. The benefits are increased each consecutive year a resident is in any Clinical Pastoral Education Program.
