Field instruction will be provided by a social worker who holds an MSW degree. Students’ experiences, observations and actions in the practicum setting will become topics for reflection in the accompanying seminar . The practicum will be 450 hours long (this number of hours is required for accreditation by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education).
