On June 12, 2019, we celebrated graduates of the first-ever Mount Sinai Beth Israel Clinical Pastoral Education for Leaders program.
Over the past eight months, six leaders throughout the Mount Sinai Beth Israel network met for several hours each week to connect and build leadership, communication, mindfulness, and conflict-resolution skills.
Rabbi Jo Hirschmann, BCC, ACPE Certified Educator, Director of Spiritual Care and Education for Mount Sinai Downtown developed this non-religious program based on the structure and foundation on the Clinical Pastoral Education model which provides leadership development for spiritual care providers.
Graduates, from left to right: Derrick Martin Williams, Catherine Cadore RN MSN/NED, Georgina U. Spence, Donnette N. Truss, Paola Gonzalez, Boris Berlin, and leaders of the program, Jo Hirschmann, and Chris Berner.
