Welcome to the Fairview Clinical Pastoral Education site
Fairview CPE Center educates spiritual caregivers in various clinical settings within the Fairview system and in the community to address the spiritual needs of patients, their families, staff and the community. Students of varied faith traditions develop spiritual care skills, explore their own personal and spiritual histories and deepen their pastoral authority and identity. We were the first CPE Center in Minneapolis to offer a full year of CPE within the hospital setting.

CPE Commencement held at Fairview Southdale Hospital

On May 20, 2010, 33 students at various stages of their CPE education were honored during a commencement celebration led by Diane Greve, Fairview CPE Center manager, and Mark Dixon, Regional President, Fairview.

MJ Swanson, vice president of operations at Fairview Southdale Hospital, welcomed the group.  Patricia Chandler, one of the CPE interns at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview offered the invocation.   The group also enjoyed Liberian drumming and singing led by John Goffa, CPE resident, with members of his congregation. 

The Fairview CPE Center satellite program with the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches was granted ACPE Accredited Member Center in April.  This program will now provide programs of CPE through their own accreditation.
