SW 511 Integrated Practice
Integrated Practice continues the program's focus on clinical practice methods, exploring the need for integrated care that fully or partially blends social and behavioral health services with general or specialty medical services. This course extends the program's focus on person-centered care and the promotion of social and economic justice by emphasizing the unique role of social workers in diverse interdisciplinary health care settings, including in rural and frontier geographic areas, given their person-in-environment perspective and understanding that individual health and well-being are intimately affected by mezzo and macro-level factors that transcend the immediate environment of care. To support the development of knowledge and skills that facilitate integrated care, students will participate in a number of interprofessional education activities, where they will learn with, from, and about other disciplines social workers may encounter in clinical settings such as nurses, public health professionals, addiction counselors, etc.
