    it’s all absurd. Did you know medical doctors who struggle with SUDs are typically barred from getting medication assisted treatment if they want to keep their license? ?

    I could talk about this topic for hours...


     

    Did you apply anywhere else? 

     

    I did not apply anywhere else.... you?

    Random hello here ;) I'm currently in a DSW program -- University of Tennessee.  I kept meaning to post on this thread but DSWhopeful is right, it's hard to reply on the phone haha.   Anyway, I am ALSO avoiding homework and was interested in seeing more chatter about DSW programs.  I'm also curious as to what everyone is planning to do with their degree.

    I decided on a DSW instead of PhD because I was interested in translational psychosocial research in palliative care and oncology.   I wanted a program that was clinically focused, but also had a good solid base for research.  UTK's curriculum fits that bill for me.   I'm currently in psychopharm and research.   

    there are more and more DSW programs all the time.  Will be interesting to see how this plays out in the professional world.  Excited to see how the CSWE's accreditation of DSW programs changes the field. 

    Hi! Yes, I agree with you regarding the choice for DSW over PHD, really excited to apply the work in direct service and scholarship!  Is your program on line or in person?

    I’m interested in reducing stigma associated with SUDs.  Specifically, reducing stigma among treatment providers, including social workers.

     

    BTW: my interview is going to be with the associate director of the DSW program. She hosted the info session I attended. 

     

     

    Awesome! I work with some SUD currently and I am so shocked how much stigma still exists, and I feel a lot of compassion for workers who want help but fear the impact on their license or perception within their community....

    Sounds very promising!
    What are your research interests?
    Did she mentioned anything on notification timelines? 
     

    I'm interested in studying natural psychological process that have been less studied than attachment.  She just said it was "a process" and that the interview was just one part - that it would take some time to review all the pieces of the application.  What about you? What are you interested in studying?

    How did it go?! 

    Hey! Thanks for checking on me! I think it went really well. We discussed why I want a DSW program as opposed to a PHD,  what I'm interested in studying for the dissertation  and then she provided a lot of time for me to ask questions. She did tell me they have decided to only admit 20 people.
