Advanced Field Placement and Seminar II

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of the clinical social work field placement and seminar (SWK-666). Synchronous seminars provide opportunities for students to discuss and demonstrate application of knowledge, values, skills, critical thinking, and management of emotions in the context of clinical social work practice. Students learn about the variety of settings in which clinical practice occurs and provide a support system for one another. Required time spent in the agency is an average of 16 hours per week for 8 weeks. The clinical field experience requires a total of 500 hours accumulated over the course of four field and seminar courses. A minimum of 125 hours must be completed in this second advanced field placement course. Exceptions must be approved by the Director of Field Experiences. In addition to course work, students must also pass the mid practicum evaluation as completed by the field instructor to pass this course. Prerequisite: SWK-666
