SWK 562 - Advanced Clinical Practice II

Units: 3
When Offered: Spring
This course is the second of two advanced practice courses and builds on the clinical skills taught in Advanced Clinical Practice I, but focuses on applying them to families and groups. Clinical skills of diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and assessment are applied to marginalized client systems on a mezzo level. The application of professional ethics is a core feature of the course, as well as the application of evidence-based practice to diverse client cases to improve client outcomes. Multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks of interventions and practice evaluations are addressed and applied while a strengths-based, person-in-environment approach to clinical practice is highlighted.
