PSYC 337 - FIELDWORK IN AIDS & HIV |
Students will familiarize themselves with the pattern of symptomology, courses of treatment, personality changes and socio-cultural forces involved in working with patients who have HIV or AIDS. This foundation will form the background for hands-on work with patients in hospices, hospitals, and clinics in the New Jersey/New York area. All student work will be supervised by an on-site professional and a Ramapo professor. ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF FIELD PLACEMENTS ARE AVAILABLE 24/7. THESE WILL BE RESERVED FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE REGISTERED IN THE EVENING PROGRAM, have taken all of their college courses at Ramapo in the evenings, and MUST WORK FULLTIME DURING THE HOURS OF 9AM TO 5PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. As most mental health service agencies tend to be open during the hours of 9am to 3:30pm, students should leave one day free in their schedules to accommodate fieldwork placement. Like all fieldwork courses, this course requires a substantial term paper based on library research from the professional journals that is integrated with the practicum experience. Due to obligations to community agencies and their clients, admission to fieldwork placements is at the discretion of the psychology faculty. Fulfills Category 6 and fieldwork requirements. Lab Fee.
