SW 7080 - MSW Foundation Field Seminar I (F/T)

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This is the first of a sequence focusing on integrating the social work knowledge, values and skills learned in the classroom with experiences through the concurrent agency-based foundation MSW field placement. The course will focus on preparation of students for entry into the field, and facilitate the process of finalizing field placements. An overview of the field instruction program will be given with an emphasis on policies and procedures, requirements and expectations of field internship. Strategies that will ensure a successful internship will be articulated, including time management skills, strategies to manage personal safety, and standards for professional ethics and behavior in field. Students will be exposed to the elements of effective professional writing and will have the opportunity to appraise their professional writing skills. Once students begin their field internships, they will consider common experiences and concerns encountered in beginning fieldwork as they develop an understanding of the organization, take on the role of social worker, and initiate the helping process with clients using the person-in-environment perspective.
