Burlington, North Carolina

Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling (D.Min.)
Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.)

This relationship allows a student to complete all residency for the degree program in Burlington, North Carolina. The Pastoral Care and Counseling Department of Alamance Regional Medical Center offers one of the few remaining Pastoral Counseling training programs tied to a medical facility. In its longstanding relationship with the Graduate Theological Foundation, it offers both the D.Min. in Pastoral Counseling and the Psy.D. degrees. The curriculum is psychodynamic in its orientation and is designed to move individuals toward state licensure or certification as pastoral counselors.

The program consists of four consecutive six-month residency sessions at Alamance Regional Medical Center (ARMC). A collegial and professional atmosphere prevails as students participate in Graduate Seminars, Clinical Case Conferences and Individual Supervisory Conferences focused upon their reading, research and practice. The educational setting provides a context for dialogue, reflection and integration of learning from both study and praxis. The clinical component offers students an opportunity to provide counseling services in the community and, in supervision, learn about the practice of psychotherapy.
