Abstract
To effectively provide social work students with the knowledge and skills necessary for practicing from an evidence-based practice (EBP) perspective, relevant training in the field internship component of the professional education is crucial. Based on previous research, practice experience, and anecdotal information, in this article the author outlines challenges to helping students integrate what they learn about EBP in class into their field education within the context of community agencies and offers detailed strategies to address these challenges as well as directions for future research.
