Attention to end-of-life care in social work education and practice is growing. With funding from the Project on Death in America, in 2001, the University of Iowa, School of Social Work developed and implemented an End-of-Life Field of Practice. Unlike a concentration, a Field of Practice is a set of integrated courses focused on one specific area of focus. This article describes the Field of Practice, the community-based partnerships, and the curriculum that serves as a basis for training the students enrolled in this area. Strategies for other social work programs interested in developing a similar Field of Practice or specialty area in their MSW curricula are provided. These include faculty committed to the content area, comprehensive course offerings to encompass all aspects of end-of-life care, and field sites willing to help train students.
社会工作教育与实践中对临终关怀的关注日益增加。2001年，爱荷华大学社会工作学院在美国死亡项目的资助下，开发并实施了临终关怀实践领域。与专业方向不同，实践领域是一组专注于一个特定重点领域的综合课程。本文介绍了实践领域、基于社区的伙伴关系以及作为该领域学生培训基础的课程。还提供了对其他有兴趣在其MSW课程中开发类似实践领域或专业领域的社会工作项目的策略。这些策略包括致力于该内容领域的教师、涵盖临终关怀所有方面的全面课程设置，以及愿意帮助培训学生的实习场所。
