| Abstrakt: | Many professional chaplaincy organizations in the United States have board certified healthcare chaplains since the 1920s and documented how they have adapted their process as the profession has grown. In 2019, the Association of Professional Chaplains and the National Association of Catholic Chaplains sought the perspectives of key stakeholders about professional chaplaincy board certification. This study reports the results from 50 semi-structured interviews with certification candidates, certification committee members, and chaplaincy managers in the United States. Participants discussed the preparation of the certification application, the certification interview, the ease and difficulty of certification competencies, and the evolving workforce. This study demonstrated divergent views on many aspects of board certification, but participants predominately respected and valued the process. Chaplains with varying levels of experience discussed how board certification strengthens multidisciplinary respect and collaboration. Participants reported difficulties with competencies that required translating between theory and practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
