  • Title: Strengthening field education in aging through university-community agency partnership: the Practicum Partnership Program.
    Author: Lawrance FP, Damron-Rodriguez J, Rosenfeld P, Sisco S, Volland PJ.
    Journal: J Gerontol Soc Work; 2007; 50(1-2):135-54. PubMed ID: 18032304.
    Abstract:
    The Practicum Partnership Program (PPP), an innovative field education model developed and implemented by six demonstration sites over four years (2000-2004), uses a structured university-community partnership, or consortium, as the foundation for designing, implementing, and evaluating internships for graduate social work students specializing in aging. This paper describes the site consortia and PPP programs, presents evaluation findings, and identifies future directions for the PPP. Student learning outcomes were positive and both students and consortia agencies reported positive PPP experiences. The PPP model underscores the value of the community agencies as equal partners in educating future geriatric social workers.
