SW 6921 - Advanced Field Practicum I

These two field practicum courses assist the student in progressively building upon the substructure of knowledge, skills, values, and ethics of social work practice which was acquired during the foundational field experience. Within a context of academic work in the four curricular areas in conjunction with an individual placement in an agency in rural Appalachia and a close mentoring relationship with a field instructor, the student will develop advanced clinical practice skills, will strive to clarify personal and professional values and ethics, and will further solidify a professional identity. Within this framework, the specialized clinical or administrative field practicum prepares the student for advanced social work service delivery in their area of specialization.
