Abstract

The categories for the ACPE Revised Outcomes and Indicators adhere to traditional values in CPE and expand on those values. The skill development that previously began in Level II CPE begins immediately in entry-level CPE. This evolution of the CPE Outcomes better serves students seeking to learn to offer spiritual care, and better serves care recipients. The Revised Outcomes raise a deeper question: do the members of ACPE believe the processes of CPE can and should evolve? This article makes a positive case for such evolution.
