There have been many groups and activities examining the role of the practice doctorate in social work and its implications for the social work profession. The growth of practice doctoral programs in social work and other disciplines has led to an increase in student enrollment and strong interest in social work education to develop new programs. Participants will be engaged in a discussion of how the emergence of the “practice doctorate” degree in many disciplines and programs is impacting social work education, research and practice. Results of the CSWE Annual Survey on the scope of practice doctoral programs in social work and issues identified from stakeholder feedback regarding accreditation and implementation will be highlighted.
