3.00 Credits
Offered to advanced-standing MSW students, this internship is the second of two graduate semesters (total 450 hours) of field instruction under the supervision of a professional social worker. While foundation social work practice is based on 10 competencies and their associated practice behaviors, advanced practice augments these competencies with the development of a knowledge concentration specific to advanced generalist practice. The purpose of this internship is to bridge foundation and advanced studies by 1) highlighting those foundation competencies that are most significant to this program's mission, and 2) allowing students to develop the skill of articulating to a variety of constituents the connection between conceptual frameworks and their increasingly complex, multi-level practice behaviors. Through increasingly reflective supervision students enhance and articulate their awareness of self and further the development of a professional identity as social workers. They articulate critical analysis for ethical decision-making and practice implementation and complete a practice-informed research project. They articulate methods of assessing and intervening to advance human and civil rights through an understanding of the impact of policy and the strengths and challenges associated with diversity. Responding to the context of practice, students learn the importance of agency function and worker role to multi-level, advanced practice. Must be taken concurrently with SWK 492.

This seminar, the second of two incoming MSW students with advanced standing status, continues to provide a structured learning opportunity for students enrolled in field instruction. The course continues to bridge foundation and advanced studies by 1) giving students the opportunity to continue the process of integrating and articulating those foundation competencies that are the most significant to the programs mission, and 2) allowing students to practice the articulation of the integration of conceptual frameworks into their increasingly complex, multi-level practice behaviors. Emphasis is placed on the following: independent, practice-informed program evaluation; autonomous articulation of social work principles and professional identity; engagement of diversity in practice along with advocacy toward human rights and social justice; and professional use of self within the social work role as it exists in agency context. Must be taken concurrently with SWK 493.
