This is the specialization year, two-semester field instruction placement. Students work in a supervised social work setting for 20-24 hours per week. Field Instruction III & Seminar and Field Instruction IV & Seminar provide students with the opportunity to further examine and integrate the theories and skills of agency-based clinical social work practice with individuals, families, and small groups; to develop and refine clinical assessment, intervention, and evaluation skills; and to consolidate their own identities as professionally disciplined and self-aware professional social workers. Field Instruction III & Seminar and Field Instruction IV & Seminar build upon the generalist social work practice perspective introduced in the prerequisite courses.
