The Mayo Clinic Board of Governors recently approved the Mayo Clinic Education Committee’s recommendation to establish a new field of academic rank for Spiritual Care at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science. While other institutions across the country offer academic rank to chaplains in other disciplines, this is the first time academic rank has been granted specifically for the field of Spiritual Care. At Mayo Clinic, chaplains and other experts in Spiritual Care may now pursue an appointment to instructor or assistant, associate or full professor in Spiritual Care. For more information about academic appointment process please contact Jacek Soroka, PhD, BCC at Soroka.jacek@mayo.edu.
