ABSTRACT
Meaningful integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) in graduate school curricula may be best achieved by partnerships between service agencies and academia. This article provides a concrete example for teaching EBP in a master’s-level social work course through collaboration with an agency with a strong track record of EBP implementation. The article presents a template for structuring a course on EBP and illustrates how social work students can help bridge the gap between science and service in the community. It includes examples of activities, role-plays, and assignments that have been effective in supporting students’ knowledge of EBP, understanding of bringing EBP to a practical reality, and their potential role as a champion for EBP in the clinical workplace.
