Carol LaMare Zoom Information Session Monday, January 23, 2023 from 5:30 – 6:30PM (See details below).

The Carol LaMare Scholars Program is an initiative of the UW School of Social Work designed to train specialist year MSW students in work with people with cancer and other serious illnesses, or who are at the end of life. Founded in 2005, the program provides:

• A specialized clinical practicum in oncology, palliative care or medical settings working with people and families facing serious illnesses.
• A retreat the weekend before Fall quarter begins which focuses on issues relevant to working with people with life limiting illness, including both practical skills and personal, reflective work.
• A year-long seminar that uses a health equity and anti-racism lens to develop practice skills focused on micro/meso/macro assessment, clinical interventions, organizational advocacy and self-care.
• Introduction to a network of over 120 former Scholars who are practicing in settings in the Seattle region at organizations such as the University of Washington Medical Center Oncology and Palliative Care programs, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle Children’s Hospital Oncology and Palliative Care programs, Evergreen Hospice, Virginia Mason Oncology Center, and Swedish Cancer Institute.
• Scholarships for students who are accepted into the program and matched with a Carol LaMare eligible practicum during the Specialist year.

The Carol LaMare Scholars Program is intended for social work students enrolled in the MSW Day or EDP Clinical Specialization.
