This study describes research conducted with Master of Social Work (MSW) students and alumni who completed all or part of their graduate practicum during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. It arises from observations by the first three authors, who are all faculty in a post-secondary social work program in northern British Columbia. These faculty observed that, despite myriad challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, many graduate students reported benefits from completing a practicum during this time. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants, revealing three themes: 1) advantages from flexibility in completing practicum requirements, 2) enhanced connections, and 3) richer learning experiences. This article discusses those themes and their sub-themes, and offers suggestions for how the people involved with post-secondary professional programs can use what was learned from the unprecedented time around the COVID-19 pandemic to inform field education. As people involved in post-secondary professional programs, faculty and staff, university administrators, community organizations and professionals, and accreditation bodies may find this study helpful.
