Graduation and Certification
When you successfully complete the Clinical Pastoral Education Internship Program, you will receive a Certificate of Completion from Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, School of Health Sciences.
Those students who complete the internship are eligible to apply for accredited clinical pastoral education residencies, including the Mayo Clinic program.
Hours
For the majority of the classroom instruction, your learning schedule will include eight-hour days, five days per week.

You will participate in all service shifts, including days, evenings, nights and weekend on-call coverage. Worship and preaching opportunities are part of the weekend schedule.
Class Size
Each year, Mayo School of Health Sciences admits six students to its Clinical Pastoral Education Internship Program. Therefore, class sizes and clinical groups are small and one-on-one instruction is provided.
