Hi, all -- I'm in a sort of weird position and considering a significant shift in the direction of my academic plan. I have a BS honors in Sociology from a women's college, with some time studying abroad on the Protestant Reformation. I'm currently working on my dual MA in Sociology and Women's & Gender Studies at Brandeis U, with a specialty in religion and sexuality but also some work in Judaism and medical/healthcare sociology. I've recently developed an interest in working in healthcare from a faith-based position (i.e. as a hospital chaplain). So, my question - what can you all tell me about the possibilities slash process for making my way towards clinical pastoral education? There seem to be many opinions about the alphabet soup that is Divinity School and strategically speaking I'm not sure how to get where I want to go. Pardon my ignorance about this world, just an inquiry at this point.
