The goal of the Social Work Training Program is to provide excellence
in teaching a broad range of clinical skills and to foster the development
of professional and expert clinicians. The program provides training
for masters and doctoral level students and fellowships for clinicians
who have their masters degree in social work.
The objective of the program is to promote the use of psychosocial
and systems knowledge and approaches to maximize the health and
functioning of patients and families throughout the life cycle.
We emphasize the use of effective and respectful treatment that
enhances the autonomy and strengths of patients and utilizes community
supports. The program provides:
- A curriculum that includes teaching psychotherapy skills and
psychodynamic principles, with a perspective that encompasses
the whole person within his or her cultural context.
- Clinical rotations in inpatient (child and adult); outpatient
(child, adult, geriatrics and addictions); day treatment programs;
primary care clinics; and on obstetrics, pediatrics and medical-surgical
inpatient units.
- Training in fundamentals of clinical practice, including diagnostic
and psychosocial assessments, crisis intervention, milieu treatment,
home visits, case management, and individual, family and group
psychotherapy.
- Fellowships in the Program for Psychotherapy and the Victims
of Violence Program.
- Interdisciplinary seminars.
- Multidisciplinary supervision from senior faculty.
