How Do You Know It Is Evidence-Based Care? Join Us for Research Literacy 101


Research Literacy (RL) 101 will be offered again, September 2-30.

If you’ve watched our webinars, joined our short courses, or read the research articles we share on evidence-based chaplaincy care (thank you!), RL 101 offers a practical next step. Through a project-based approach, the course helps you continue building the skills needed to become more research literate.

This fall, the course includes expanded content on AI and research, along with a broader approach to understanding and applying qualitative research.

Offered since 2019, RL 101 is a five-week asynchronous online course that ends with a two-hour live session on September 30, during which participants present their projects. Each week, colleagues build skills in finding, evaluating, and summarizing evidence-based content relevant to spiritual care practice. Participants may earn 25 continuing education hours by completing the course.

Registration and Cost

Early bird rate: $250 available through Saturday, August 15.
Full program: $350

You will be sent an invoice once you register. The registration fee is due no later than Monday, August 31.
