Credentialing Review Panel Registration
Credentialing Candidates
Candidates seeking certification may register for a review panel as part of the credentialing process. Prior to the panel interview, candidates will submit their credentialing application materials, which may include essays, a case study, evaluations, transcripts, and other required documentation demonstrating competency in clinical pastoral care and professional practice.
Credentialing Volunteers
Credentialed members are encouraged to participate in credentialing reviews regularly, as this process strengthens professional accountability, supports colleagues pursuing certification, and reinforces the shared competencies of the chaplaincy profession. Volunteers may receive CEUs for their service.
