VANEOHS offers CPE in single training units quarterly and year-long programs, that begin on October 1 of each fiscal year.  Along with the traditional patient care at bedside, opportunities include working in specialized treatment areas and teams. Trainees have ample opportunity to grow in their effectiveness of offering individual and group ministry as they participate in interdisciplinary treatment team meetings and consultations, serve alongside skilled staff chaplains, and experience transformation and personal and professional development from the rich learning environment.
