9. The Association of Clinical Pastoral Education establishes standards, certifies supervisors (faculty), and accredits programs for clinical pastoral education. The ACPE, Inc., is nationally recognized as an accrediting agency in the field of clinical pastoral education by the U.S.Secretary of Education through die Department of Education. Such recognition enables the ACPE, Inc., and/or its programs and students to participate in federal programs such as the International Student Visitor Program, the veterans' educational benefits program, Medicare PassThrough reimbursement funding, and in some cases the federal student loan deferment program. Recognition by the U.S. Department of Education requires regular and rigorous review of the agency and its standards and processes for accreditation.
