The course content was thorough and well-structured, with a clear focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of pastoral care. I appreciated the attention to detail and the use of relevant examples to illustrate complex concepts. One area that could be improved is the provision of more opportunities for peer feedback and collaboration. Nevertheless, I gained a deeper understanding of the role of pastoral care in promoting patient well-being and developed my skills in creating personalized care plans. The course materials were of high quality, and I appreciated the flexibility of the online format. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to develop their skills in clinical pastoral education.
