SOCW 6378 Advanced Generalist Field Education I
This practicum course requires completion of 250 clock hours in an approved practicum setting. This course is required for advanced-standing students and those in the Advanced Generalist year of the MSW program who are in field placement and builds on the previous Generalist level field courses. The student interns will be able to identify ethical issues and dilemmas associated with anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion (ADEI) with the delivery of services and programs to individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The course focuses on aiding the development of advanced practice skills in conjunction with the student’s field placement with clients, supervisors, colleagues, agency climate, community groups and constituents. A particular emphasis is placed on interventions used with vulnerable and oppressed populations at each stage of the helping process in the individual, family, group, community setting, and policy level. Graduates will demonstrate advanced critical thinking skills in examining issues of social justice, human rights, and anti-racism as it relates to their field placement. In addition, students will have an increasing expectation to analyze how larger social and policy issues impact service delivery. The course will emphasize ethical issues in practice throughout the semester.
