Professional Advisory Group

The Professional Advisory Group (PAG) is made up of interdisciplinary professional resource persons who are knowledgeable about CPE. They meet at regular intervals to provide advice and consultation on Clinical Pastoral Education  program planning, development, and program evaluation.

The purposes of the PAG are:

  • To seek ways to improve the quality of the spiritual and emotional care provided to patients, loved ones, and staff at UCSF.
  • To facilitate communication and cooperation between related in-house departments of the Medical Center.
  • To facilitate communication and cooperation between the Medical Center and the community, especially the community religious leaders, and represent the concerns of community religious leaders to the Medical Center as necessary.
  • To provide members of the Medical Center and the wider San Francisco community with opportunities for continuing education.
  • To help identify support for financial needs for Spiritual Care Services and its programs.
  • To be available to CPE students for consultation, support and guidance.

Seven Steps to Self-Care

Tip #5: Lighten up. Let your sense of humor travel with you. Laughing increases blood flow and relaxes blood vessels. It reduces levels of cortisol, the stress hormone that increases our belly fat and makes our kidneys retain salt and water, boosting our blood pressure.
