ACPE Accreditation Commission
The Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. (ACPE) was established in 1967 through the merger of four groups: The Institute of Pastoral Care, Inc.; The Council for Clinical Training, Inc.; the Association of Clinical Pastoral Educators; and the certification and accreditation functions of the Lutheran Council in the USA. ACPE carries on the commitment of these organizations to advance clinical pastoral education (CPE) as experience-based theological education. Today, ACPE enjoys national and international recognition as an educational organization for its work in setting standards, accrediting CPE centers and programs, and certifying supervisors in clinical pastoral education.
