Most studies focused on interprofessional continuing education, rather than SCP-specific training programs. SCP education programs emphasized spiritual care and communication competencies, while core clinical domains were only addressed in interprofessional programs. Content related predominantly to adult patients. SCP-focused studies did not address pediatric subject matter. Few studies reported the religious affiliations of the participants. When religious affiliation was reported, most participants were of the Christian faith. Evaluations focused on attitudes and knowledge, with minimal assessment of behavior change or patient\/system-level outcomes. Few studies (13.8%) incorporated education theory in their design or evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PC education for SCP is expanding but remains variable and clinically narrow.
