Fieldwork Rotation: A Model for Educating Social Work Students for Geriatric Social Work Practice
Ivry, Joann; Lawrance, Frances P.; Damron-Rodriguez, JoAnn; Robbins, Virginia Cooke
Journal of Social Work Education, v41 n3 p407-425 Fall 2005
The Geriatric Social Work Practicum Partnership Program was funded to attract graduate students to the field of aging and to strengthen field education in geriatric social work. Rotation was selected to achieve the program's goals to provide students with exposure to the spectrum of care in geriatric social work services. This paper describes the program's experience with rotation, which is the planned and systematic movement of students between two or more field practicum sites and supervision from more than one field instructor. Implementing rotation required the establishment of a university-community partnership. Students' positive reaction to rotation indicates that it warrants further implementation and evaluation.
