- Description: Muslim chaplaincy services are offered in a growing number of North American healthcare, correctional, military, and educational institutions.

This chapter introduces this emerging profession; encouraging clinics and clinicians to integrate Muslim chaplains and other Islamic spiritual and cultural care professionals into their clinical services.
