UCSF Spiritual Care Services Awarded Research Literacy Curriculum Grant

Posted on April 27, 2016 by Peter Clark in News

The Department of Spiritual Care Services is pleased to announce that we have been awarded a grant of $4,000 over two years as part of the Transforming Chaplaincy Project, which is sponsored by the John Templeton Foundation in collaboration with Rush University and Brandeis University. The grant is intended to assist us in developing and implementing curricula for our Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) year-long interns to help them increase their research literacy. With consultation from Dr. Laura Dunn (who is now at the Stanford University School of Medicine, but who led the Spiritual AIM research project with the Rev. Dr. Michele Shields and remains a friend to our CPE program), we were able to submit a proposal that was very favorably received. The grant will begin in the 2016 – 2017 internship year. More information about the grant program is available at: Transforming Chaplaincy

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.
