Integrated Healthcare

 
MSW students interested in gaining knowledge and skills in the rapidly growing field of integrated healthcare have an opportunity to pursue a focus area.  This includes an integrated healthcare course (SOCW 530), an online interprofessional education module, special interprofessional education experiences, and a two semester specialization year field placement in an integrated healthcare setting. 
 
A stipend of up to $25,000 may be available to eligible students. The Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training for Professionals (BHWET-Pro) grant-supported stipend program at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµis federally funded through HRSA.  It is for students who will serve the population of children, adolescents, young adults (ages 16-25) and their families during their training and who will commit to post-graduation work with that population in rural, medically underserved communities in Western North Carolina or with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
 
MSW graduates with a focus in integrated healthcare are prepared to immediately enter health related careers offering whole person care.
