Clinical Knowledge Social Work Managers

Students in the Organizational Management & Leadership program receive training in fundamental social work competencies and specialist training in social work management. At the same time, many will have careers managing clinical and other direct practice programs and supervisory staff. This course is designed to give the management students core competencies in clinical issues. The course will cover clinical issues that arise that require executive management participation; how clinicians view their work compared to how managers view their work; a review of DSM V; contemporary theoretical approaches to clinical work; and current and emerging best practice intervention models in each student's field of practice.
