Columbia approves CTI course
Columbia University will offer the first academic course on CTI to social work graduate students. Entitled, Facilitating Continuity of Care for Vulnerable Populations in Critical Transitions: Applications of CTI, the course is part of the school’s advanced generalist practice sequence. Dr. Fang-pei Chen, an assistant professor at the school, plans to offer the seven week course during the spring semester of 2010. The course will address risk factors and strengths of a variety of vulnerable populations in transition; introduce the CTI model, its practice skills, and supervision; and explore its broader applications. For the final assignment, students will be asked to conceive and design a transitional service model adapting the approach and strategies employed in CTI.
