Bridging the Gap conference presentations

Historically, the profession of social work has grappled with strategies for bridging the gap between research and practice in both practice settings and the social work curriculum. Various models to support this integration have emerged, including the Empirical Clinical Practice Model and the Evidence-Based Practice Process Model. Despite widespread efforts to disseminate these models during the past three decades, their implementation (as well as the use of empirically supported interventions) in real settings has remained a challenge. There is a vital need to address the complex issues that have precluded the successful dissemination and implementation of practice- relevant research findings with diverse and complex clients, communities and organizations. This symposium draws on the experiences and knowledge of nationally-known faculty, researchers and practitioners to identify critical considerations, successes and emerging ideas to address many of these challenges.
