What does it really take to prepare the next generation of social workers?

In this episode of Inside Marywood Health Sciences, Samantha sits down with Dr. Michelle Ostroski, Assistant Professor and Director of MSW Field Education at Marywood University, to explore the important role field education plays in helping students make the transition from the classroom to professional practice.

Whether you're considering a career in social work, currently preparing for field education, or part of a community organization interested in mentoring future professionals, this conversation offers a look at how classroom learning becomes meaningful, hands-on experience.
