Abstract
Army uniformed social workers perform as members of the Army Medical Department's team of health care providers. Uniformed social workers of the past and those of today are involved in ensuring the well-being of soldiers and their families during peace and war. The training and development of the post-MSW social worker is an area lacking attention in the literature. This article focuses on an innovative military post-MSW training program that simultaneously prepares the social worker for clinical work in multiple military practice areas while also preparing the trainee for independent social work licensure. In the 4 years since implementation, this 2-year training program has become the model for the professional development of new uniformed Army social workers. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
