SWK 485A Interprofessional Collaboration
Students in the Junior and Senior year of study in the social work program will participate in a tiered approach to interprofessional collaboration with the medical community at Penn State Hershey Medical Center, representing the social work perspective on various collaborative teams. During the Junior year, students will attend two collaborative large-group learning opportunities to engage with medical students, nursing students, OT/PT, and other health care professionals. During the Senior year, students will attend six opportunities to share their practice knowledge as part of the collaborative team to engage, assess, intervene with and evaluate standardized clients. Additionally, seniors will contribute to the learning of others while also learning from those within the medical field. This is a 0-credit course. Part 1 of 2
