Popis: Social workers are increasingly called to implement evidence-based practices and systematically evaluate efficacy. As healthcare reform magnifies these mandates for a growing population of service users, social work educators are positioned to play important roles in helping organizations build capacity for this work. This article presents two examples of faculty members successfully filling this role; one developed a teaching model for evidence-based practice that synchronized classroom and field continuing education, and the other linked curricular goals with an agency's need for program evaluation. The success of these initiatives identifies opportunities for educators to meet growing needs in health services.
