Transforming Chaplaincy now enrolling research literacy courses

Chaplains and others interested in gaining literacy in chaplaincy research are invited to enroll in two courses to be offered by Transforming Chaplaincy in 2020: RL 101 “Introduction to Research Literacy,” lasting 5 weeks; and RL 101, “Exploring Methods in Chaplaincy Research,” a 10-week course.

The main goal of these courses is to build research literacy skills: reading and applying research articles to the important work chaplains do as front-line healthcare providers in religion and spirituality. The aims of these courses include enabling participants to articulate the rationale for chaplaincy as an evidence-based profession; identifying and accessing research literature related to spirituality, religion, and health; critically reading and evaluating current research related to chaplaincy practice; and identifying ways of applying research to current practice.

Those interested in enrolling can visit Transforming Chaplaincy or contact Andrew Andresco at Rush University.
