    Hi all,

    Has anyone had success with students getting 500 hours in a summer block placement?

    In community,

    Our Campus MSW program has the option of doing a 500 hour internship during our 12-week summer semester. We warn them of the incredible challenge it is to get those hours in during that time, and we warn against doing it, but students successfully do it every year. Most Field Instructors are ok with facilitating these intensive semesters.

    Thanks, Bruce.  I agree it's tough! We're exploring ways to make it more do-able. Do your students do any online or pre-work?

    We do not have the students do any online or pre-work. Let us know if you figure out a way to make it easier for students during the summer.

    Thanks!
