This is an advanced clinical training program beginning February 1, 2022 and ending January 31, 2023 with an opportunity to extend the Fellowship for a second year. The mission of this Post-MSW training program is to advance practice competency, professionalism, and leadership in the field of clinical social work.

Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion will addressed throughout the fellowship experience.
