The CPE training program at the Kettering Health Network's Grandview and Southview Medical Centers has been an accredited CPSP CPE training center for many years. Basharat Masih, CPSP Diplomate is the the program's director. Recently Dr. Masih was featured in the KHN TODAY Newsletter
The article reflects how the CPSP's CPE program has avoided the trap of being one bound by an educational model focused only on professional development:
Clinical Pastoral Education at Grandview and Southview Medical Centers does more than help pastors and seminarians improve their ministry to the sick and troubled. The skills they learn apply to all parts of their lives, giving the program an impact well beyond the hospital.
Junann Johnson of Kentucky, a recent seminary graduate said:
"The program helped me to see how to minister to people without beating them over the head with the Bible," said Johnson, who completed the program in July. "It helped me to see that sometimes (as) Basharat always told us, 'you don't have to do, you have to be.' "
