Abstract
ABSTRACT Social workers engage with many professionals to address complex social problems. This includes leveraging the power of social work to support quality interventions on interprofessional teams. While generalist social workers are prepared to apply multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks and rely on interprofessional collaboration, specialized practice education enables social workers to operate at the highest level on interprofessional teams. Since 2019, the Eastern Kentucky University Master of Social Work program has been developing a specialization in interprofessional social work. This article presents the rationale and elements of this program and how students demonstrate interprofessional practice behaviors that align with the Council on Social Work Education core competencies. It is through this approach that social workers can mobilize the power of interprofessional teamwork to address the Grand Challenges for Social Work.
