Do Master's in social work programs teach empirically supported interventions? A survey of deans and directors

Article Abstract:

A survey of deans and directors of Council on Social Work Education-accredited MasterEs in social work (MSW) programs was conducted to examine efforts toward the teaching of empirically supported interventions (ESI). Results showed that informal faculty commitment to teaching ESI was significantly higher than official program commitment, and offering more clinical practice courses was associated with greater program commitment.
