UMB Catalyst Magazine highlights a pioneering collaboration between the University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) and School of Pharmacy (UMSOP).
The University of Maryland School of Social Work (UMSSW) and the School of Pharmacy (UMSOP) have joined forces to offer a groundbreaking opportunity for social work students. This innovative partnership provides social work students with a unique educational opportunity to pursue their Master of Social Work (MSW) while earning a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics. This joint program equips future social workers with specialized knowledge of social work practice and medical cannabis therapeutics, preparing them for emerging challenges in healthcare and social services.
Joan Pittman, PhD, LCSW-C, shares insights on this innovative program, "The experience of learning with students from many different professions and taking classes from School of Pharmacy faculty has the potential to expand social work students’ skills in working on interprofessional teams — something that’s very important in the workforce today.”
