Clinical Pastoral Education at AdventHealth is a professional ministry formation program committed to the development of reflective, spiritually integrated, ethical, clinical pastoral care practitioners. The integrity of this formation and educational process depends on the authenticity of each student’s intellectual and spiritual formation work.
While Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms have many legitimate uses, it cannot replace the personal and theological reflection required in CPE.
The essays which are part of the application process aids in our being able to evaluate your self-awareness, capacity for vulnerability, ability to narrate your lived experience, your reflective skills, how you integrate your cultural and theological experience into your life story, and your readiness to journey alongside others as a spiritual care provider in the clinical context.
A document that significantly contains AI generated content fails at this goal, not because it is “cheating”, but rather because it keeps us from being able to see YOU. No one can tell your story like you can. We are looking forward to meeting YOU.
