"Free to Make Mistakes": Which Social Work Competencies do Faculty Prioritize in Simulation Labs?

Sunday, October 27, 2024
10:15 AM – 10:45 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2208
A faculty survey identified social work competencies prioritized through use of an on-campus simulation lab. Most faculty used the lab to teach basic social work skills. The lab was rarely used to teach more advanced skills, such as trauma-informed practice, or meta-competencies, including social justice or anti-racism.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe how faculty at one university used a simulation lab for social work courses.
  2. Describe which social work competencies were prioritized in simulation lab experiences.
  3. Describe reasons to enhance simulation lab experiences to teach advanced skills and competencies related to social justice and anti-racism.
