ABSTRACT
Training for interdisciplinary practice is integral to preparation of well-qualified gerontological social workers. Social work and other disciplines must be prepared to function in teams to achieve mutually determined therapeutic patient goals and to maintain team efficiency. A conceptual framework is presented to organize the content areas for social work education in preparation for interdisciplinary practice. Curricula tools and learning exercises are given as examples and resources for teaching in each of the four major components of the framework: context, structure, process and outcomes. Recommendations for curriculum considerations are presented. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
