“…Gaps between social work classroom education and practice demands historically have required specialized field education in and for hospital practice (Bracht, 1978;Rauch, 1984;and Berkman, Kemler, Marcus and Silberman, 1985). In recent years, rapid change in hospital practice widened these gaps, placing added burden on field work programs to educate in and for hospital practice.…”

Hospital field instructors of graduate social work students can experience considerable stress in managing their dual roles as practitioners and teachers. This paper looks at the kinds of supports that field instructors need from hospital social work departments to help them experience field instruction positively. Annual program evaluations completed by field instructors at one hospital over a five year period were analyzed. Findings suggest that ongoing departmental seminars for field instructors can be critical in supporting them in this role well beyond the first year. Implications for retaining field instructors and directions for further research are highlighted.

School and Agency Collaboration in a Cost Conscious Health Care Environment

The need to reduce costs in the health care system has initiated changes that challenge social workers as well as other professions to reassess their roles and functions. While such a reassessment would optimally emerge from collaboration between school and agency, productive communication between them has been limited. This paper suggests ways to initiate this important dialogue by focusing on areas of mutual interest and concern such as (1) the development of adaptations to a cost conscious environment, (2) reassessment of the generalist/specialist balance, and (3) restructuring supervision, consultation, and continuing education. It is suggested that such a focused dialogue might reduce the perceived "widening gap" in communication and empower both school and agency to respond to the crisis with greater creativity and effectiveness.
