Advanced Field Placement and Seminar IV

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of the clinical social work field placement in a social service agency accompanied by a seminar (SWK-668) designed to apply learning to clinical social work practice. 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. Since this is the final clinical field placement course the required 500 hours must be completed by the end of this course. In addition to course work, students must pass the final practicum evaluation as completed by the field instructor to pass this course. Final evaluations based on the entire clinical field placement are completed. Prerequisite: SWK-668
