The Doctor of Ministry in Interfaith Clinical Education for Pastoral Ministry Degree
" Simply liberating! The program opened for me new vistas for my work with my community and encouraged my personal growth through reflection, introspection and renewed awareness of the interwoven nature of theology and pyschology." A D.Min. graduate The Doctor of Ministry degree in the Interfaith Clinical Education for Pastoral Ministry program provides a unique opportunity to clergy and, in some cases, non-clergy of all faith groups to understand and respond to the variety of clinical problems encountered in ministry. Students who work in congregational, chaplaincy, counseling or community settings are offered coursework and clinical supervision with attention to the specific context of the pastoral relationship. Learning Goals: Students who enroll in the D.Min. program will study and have the opportunity to build:
Demonstration Project An additional year is usually required to complete the doctoral Demonstration Project and paper. During the summer between the first and second years, students develop a proposal for a Demonstration Project in consultation with their faculty advisor. This Demonstration Project is one in which the critical, integrative method of course work is brought to bear on an actual clinical problem or need in the student's ministry setting. Faculty: All faculty in the HUC-JIR program are conversant with theological and clinical training and most have practiced in one or both fields for more than 25 years. The faculty embodies, individually and as a group, the knowledge and skill set the program teaches. Basic Requirements: Master of Divinity or Master's in related field; ordination or if non-ordained, institutional endorsement; at least five years of experience post-Masters.
