“…Faculty members play an important role in preparing students, implementing the simulation activity, debriefing, and evaluating the simulation-based learning activity. Many researchers discussed the importance of training faculty members to teach students about social work practice more effectively (Lundgren, Salas-Wright, Amodeo, Krull, & Alford, 2018; Minnick, 2019) and noting the value of faculty members with clinical practice experience (Berzoff & Drisko, 2015). Lundgren, Salas-Wright, Amodeo, Krull, and Alford (2018) argue that the workforce gap in areas such as addictions can be addressed strategically by training faculty members in these specialized areas.…”

Purpose: This article presents a scoping review that synthesized empirical studies on simulation in social work (SW) education. The review maps the research examining characteristics of simulation studies in SW education and emerging best practices. Method: Using Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework to develop the methodology and following the PRISMA-ScR checklist, we selected 52 studies for this review. Results: Most studies were published in North America and included quantitative (37%), qualitative (31%), and mixed methods (33%). Simulation was used to teach generalist and specialized practice with interprofessional practice as the highest area of specialization. Simulation was also used for assessment purposes, and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination was a commonly reported method. We identified several facilitators and barriers to using simulation effectively for teaching and assessment. Conclusions: Our analysis permitted us to identify emerging best practices that can be used to guide teaching. Implications for SW research, teaching, and practice are discussed.

“…The articles in this Special Issue are intended to build upon one another in laying out the case for the importance of the ADEP program and, in turn, its impact and relevance to social work education. In the first article , Lundgren and colleagues (2018a) provide a rationale for and overview of the ADEP program. Specifically, the article discusses the prevalence of AOD use and its consequences and the ways in which working with individuals experiencing AOD-related problems is part and parcel of social work practice.…”

“…In other words, faithful to the core insights and commitments of the profession, the article situates conversations about AOD knowledge and evidence-based practice within an ecological framework that reflects the reality of many who struggle with and seek help for AOD-related problems. Simply put, this final article gives greater depth to one of the central assertions of the ADEP program, namely: AOD training must be evidence-based and rooted in social context, including an emphasis on the importance of social determinants and racial- and ethnicity-based disparities; family, neighborhood, social, and cultural contexts; and client access to services (see Lundgren et al, 2018a).…”

This Special Issue of Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions focuses on an emerging effort, the Alcohol and Other Drugs Education Program (ADEP), designed to advance social work faculty knowledge and teaching in the area of alcohol and other drug (AOD) use. In June 2017, with grant support from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the inaugural ADEP program provided in-depth, immersion-based training to 50 full-time, clinical faculty from social work programs across the United States. As detailed in this Special Issue, the preliminary results of our program were highly promising and we look forward to training more social work faculty in June 2018, and in years to come. The ADEP program is predicated on the idea that faculty training in evidence-based AOD identification and treatment methods will help faculty to provide higher-quality instruction in AOD and, in turn, that their students will be better prepared to serve clients experiencing AOD-related problems. While this Special Issue focuses primarily on the ADEP program, we do so with the hope that the work presented here reaches far beyond the specifics of our faculty training program to underscore the need to advance AOD-related training and offer a template for social work educators looking adapt their teaching to address the nation’s very serious challenges with AOD.

“…SWIFT is based on the template of the Chief Resident Immersion Training (CRIT) program that has provided Addiction Medicine training for physician educators for more than a decade (Alford et al 2009). SWIFT is a four-day immersion training includes a number of didactic modules and practice skills sessions focused on screening and assessment, brief intervention, medication-assisted treatment, and recovery and relapse prevention, as well as modules dedicated to pedagogy and faculty skill building (see Lundgren et al [2018] in this Special Issue for greater detail as to the program design and curriculum).…”

This study is an educational evaluation of participants (N = 50) in a four-day immersion training program funded by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Using a pretest-posttest design, clinical social work faculty participants showed statistically significant (p < .001) improvement in overall alcohol and other drug-related knowledge (Baseline: Mean[SD] = 8.75 [2.44]; Post-Intervention: Mean[SD] = 13.88[1.96], Cohen’s d = −2.16) in the domains of screening/assessment, brief intervention, medication-assisted treatment, and recovery and relapse prevention. Corresponding increases were also observed for faculty confidence in teaching clinical skills related to alcohol and other drug screening, assessment, and treatment.
