Knowledge for clinical social work practice is ever evolving and consists of underlying explanatory concepts, practice models, and intervention skills. Conceptualization and identification of competencies for practice provides a bridge from knowledge and understanding to actual skills needed in clinical sessions. Articulating competencies also guides education of students and provides grounded skills and behaviors needed for clinical research. Analysis of simulation-based practice provides a useful methodology to identify generic practice competencies as well as competencies in specialized fields of practice. This paper presents a simulation education model and illustrates how the use of simulation enabled clinical scholars to articulate core competencies in specialized areas of social work practice. Case examples and related competencies for practice with adolescents, victims of elder abuse, and in mental health practice will demonstrate this process. Examples are drawn from reflections on practice wisdom, analysis of experienced social work practitioners, and relevant literature. Resulting competencies contribute to scholarship for clinical practice.

通过阐明实践能力推进临床社会工作实践的指南：多伦多模拟模型

临床社会工作实践的知识不断发展，包括潜在的解释性概念、实践模型和干预技能。实践能力的概念化和识别提供了从知识和理解到临床会议所需的实际技能的桥梁。表达能力还指导学生的教育，并提供临床研究所需的基础技能和行为。基于模拟的实践分析提供了一种有用的方法来识别通用实践能力以及专业实践领域的能力。本文提出了一个模拟教育模型，并说明了模拟的使用如何使临床学者能够阐明社会工作实践专业领域的核心能力。与青少年、虐待老人的受害者和心理健康实践相关的案例和相关能力将展示这一过程。例子来自对实践智慧的思考、对有经验的社会工作从业者的分析以及相关文献。由此产生的能力有助于临床实践的奖学金。
