Interprofessional Spiritual Care Education Curriculum (ISPEC)

© Interprofessional Spiritual Care Education Curriculum (ISPEC) is an international, evidence-based curriculum for teaching all types of health care providers to address their patients’ spiritual needs in a daily health care practice. Designed to be taken together with an area chaplain or spiritual director, ISPEC is a compilation of over two decades of research, education, and clinical best practices. 

Launched in 2018, © ISPEC has already begun developing leaders, mentors, and replicable models of spiritual care training throughout multiple countries. As the program continues to grow, we envision a future where all clinicians, spiritual care professionals, and other providers in health settings are equipped to attend to spiritual distress among patients and their families, particularly those experiencing acute illness or end-of-life.
