Social Worker Integrated Care Competencies Scale (SWICCS): Assessing social worker clinical competencies for health care settings.Integrating physical and behavioral health services has the potential to reduce health disparities and service inequities among persons most at risk.  The Social Worker Integrated Care Competency Scale (SWICCS), developed to complement the Integrated and Culturally Relevant Care (ICRC) field education curriculum, measures students' self-perceptions of knowledge and skills associated with providing behavioral health care.  Three student cohorts (n = 38) completed the SWICCS three times during an integrated care field practicum.  The SWICCS demonstrated utility in measuring and tracking social work student acquisition of knowledge and skills required for practice in integrated care environments.
