Area of Science:

  • Healthcare
  • Sociology
  • Workforce Diversity

Background:

  • US demographics are shifting, increasing the need for diversity in healthcare.
  • Previous research indicated chaplains were predominantly Caucasian/White and Mainline Protestant.
  • The healthcare chaplaincy workforce composition requires examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a baseline demographic profile of the healthcare chaplaincy workforce.
  • To identify demographic differences among board-certified chaplains (BCCs), certified educators, certified educator candidates (CECs), and clinical pastoral education (CPE) students.
  • To inform strategies for enhancing diversity within professional chaplaincy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of demographic data for board-certified chaplains (BCCs), certified educators, CECs, and CPE students.
  • Comparison of workforce characteristics including age, race/ethnicity, and religious affiliation.
  • Identification of data limitations and missing information.

Main Results:

  • Preliminary data suggest BCCs and Certified Educators are older and more Caucasian than CECs and CPE students.
  • A significant portion of chaplains and Certified Educators identify as Mainline Protestant, with greater religious diversity among students and CECs.
  • Chaplain demographics may align with healthcare users regarding gender and race/ethnicity, pending further data.

Conclusions:

  • The healthcare chaplaincy workforce shows demographic trends, including age and race/ethnicity, that differ across certification levels.
  • Greater religious diversity exists among newer entrants (CECs and CPE students) compared to established professionals.
  • Improving data collection infrastructure is crucial for understanding and advancing diversity in professional chaplaincy.
