Field Note--Social Work Field Education in Quarantine: Administrative Lessons from the Field during a Worldwide Pandemic
Melero, Hermila; Hernandez, Maria Y.; Bagdasaryan, Sofya
Journal of Social Work Education, v57 suppl 1 p162-167 2021
Social workers are trained to respond to national disasters but, during the emergence of the novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, their traditional face-to-face methods of responding to client needs were not accessible. Field placement educators were required to find alternative means for social work students to complete internships. This field note describes the response of a field education department, within a school of social work, to COVID-19. The school is housed within a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) located in a large metropolitan area. Lessons learned from challenges to field education created by COVID-19 are described. We conclude with recommendations for changes to social work curriculum and online social services and future research to tackle the aftermath of COVID-19.
