The Health Care Ministry Certificate program provides a deeper integration of one's theological understanding and professional experience through the discussion and discernment of topics related to ministry in the health care field. An IREPM faculty advisor will assist students in choosing coursework (18 credits/audit), securing a related field placement and integrating the two in a final project.
