Abstract:
The article addresses the question of the value of the virtual visiting seminar compared to the verbatim seminar in a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) Unit. A Virtual Visit occurs when a volunteer allows a CPE student to engage them in a pastoral visit with the expressed purpose of providing feedback to the student. The effectiveness of the virtual visiting seminar was monitored by a Site Review Team, two independent expert witnesses, by students who have experienced both learning tools, and the Education Sub Committee of the Pastoral Care Advisory Committee. The results point to advantages of the virtual visiting seminar over the verbatim seminar.
