Potential Field Agency Form (Qualtrics survey)

Field Instructor Information Sheet (Qualtrics survey - must upload resume to this)

All potential field agency sites must participate in a "Prospective Agency Meeting" with the field directors before the Clinical Affiliation process can be started. At this time, we are meeting potential agencies via Microsoft Teams. This meeting typically takes anywhere from 30-60 minutes, and is meant to gather basic information on what the agency does, what population is served, how the agency plans to utilize social work student interns, onboarding requirements, etc. Contact Cherry Malone for more details or to schedule this meeting.
