Description:
Saint Louis University Hospital is a component of Tenet Healthcare Corporation. The Pastoral Care department is a contracted service to the hospital by the Mission and Ministry Division of Saint Louis University, a Catholic Jesuit institution. The local system includes the university, a medical school, allied health schools, outpatient services, and a 300-bed tertiary care teaching hospital. The multi-disciplinary resources of this complex as well as the experience of the SLU ecumenical staff chaplain team are also utilized in the overview of students. Two of the staff chaplains are AI alumnae from the MAPS program.
The clinical experience at Saint Louis University Hospital provides students multi-cultural and inter-faith ministry opportunities in emergency medicine, trauma, behavioral medicine, orthopedics, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, general surgery, transplant surgery, cardiology and geriatrics. Students would be exposed to ministry as well as to hospital patients and their families. Interns would make visits and respond to referrals, if needed, with the assistance of experienced staff chaplains.
