Healthcare chaplains, including hospice and hospital chaplains, spend most of their ministry at medical facilities helping the injured, sick, or terminally ill find rest, healing, and spiritual guidance. As a healthcare chaplain, you can often counsel both patients and their families, helping them work through stages of grief, understand their illness, and sometimes process any anger they feel towards their situation. Patients may request that you provide last rites or other religious services.
If you have a passion for providing support and spiritual guidance to patients and their families, then Liberty University’s 100% online Master of Divinity in Professional Chaplaincy - Healthcare is the degree for you. The healthcare field needs uplifting individuals like you to present the hope of Christ during troubling times. |
