What does overnight on-call involve?
The Beaumont chaplain intern or resident provides spiritual and emotional care to patients, as well as their support persons, where indicated, and collegial support to interdisciplinary staff persons throughout the entire hospital from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM for interns and 10:00 PM to 10:00 AM for residents. The on-call chaplain carries the trauma pager and responds to all traumas (Emergency Center), CPRs, deaths, and all other requests for a chaplain. This usually includes providing emotional and spiritual support for persons in crisis. The CPE intern or resident can expect to have fourteen such opportunities for their learning and professional development per unit of CPE.
