SW 511 Integrated Practice

Integrated and Interdisciplinary Practice extends the program's focus on person-centered care by emphasizing the unique role of social workers in diverse, interdisciplinary health, behavioral health, and social service settings, including in rural and frontier areas. The course emphasizes the value of social work’s person-in-environment perspective and the profession's 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 and interdisciplinary 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.
