This presentation highlights student perspectives regarding implementation and outcomes of a rural hybrid training model within a HRSA-funded MSW behavioral health training program. Quantitative and qualitative evaluation results of three MSW cohorts (N=87) are presented and implications for other rural areas facing shortages of behavioral health providers are addressed.
Learning Objectives:
Describe implementation of a rural hybrid training model that brings campus based and online MSW students together for collaborative training and learning.
Discuss results in student knowledge, beliefs, and skills as related to rural interprofessional and collaborative practice based on mixed-method analysis of three years of evaluation data from a behavioral health training program.
Identify specific training program components that students found particularly helpful in this hybrid rural training model.
