Background:

  • Increasing aging population and chronic conditions necessitate enhanced palliative and end-of-life care training for social workers.
  • Existing social work curricula may not adequately address specialized end-of-life competencies.
  • A growing need exists for social work professionals skilled in end-of-life care within academic medical centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and structure of a Master of Social Work (MSW) concentration practicum focused on palliative and end-of-life care.
  • To outline the curriculum, immersive training, and supervision model for social work students in this specialized field.
  • To provide a replicable model for other palliative care social work field instructors.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a specialized MSW concentration practicum in palliative and end-of-life care.
  • Immersive training in palliative care social work values, assessments, interventions, and evaluations.
  • Integration of students into interdisciplinary teams for direct patient and family psychosocial support.

Main Results:

  • Students gained comprehensive training in palliative and end-of-life care social work.
  • Practicum facilitated student participation in interdisciplinary teams, providing essential psychosocial support.
  • The program's curriculum, training manual, and supervision structure were detailed for adaptability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed MSW practicum effectively trains social work students in critical palliative and end-of-life care competencies.
  • The program model offers a valuable framework for other institutions seeking to enhance social work education in end-of-life care.
  • Enhanced social work training is crucial for addressing the psychosocial needs of aging populations and those with chronic illnesses.
