Clinical Social Work (Post Master Degree Professional Certificate)
The Post Master Degree Professional Certificate Program in Clinical Social Work aims to prepare social workers with a biopsycosocial and interdisciplinary approach to work in independent practice in diverse scenarios by integrating models for primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.
Current clinical social work deals with care of diverse human systems without excluding the possibility of intervening with broader social systems. Clinical social work with a biopysicosocial approach transfers its center of attention from the individual as the main client to the evaluation, diagnosis and intervention in and between human systems. It integrates diverse biological, psychological and social variables and associates them to explain behavior in family, group and interpersonal relations that individuals have with their environment. With this approach, social intervention moves, in addition, towards intervention centered on the family, consultation and evaluation of the professional practice. This can be conducted in public or private scenarios.
The Metropolitan Campus is authorized to offer this Program.
