Virtual CEU Opportunities Designed for the Social Work Community

Gilchrist is proud to present the Social Work Training Institute (SWTI) – Seminar Series, a dynamic lineup of virtual trainings created to support and strengthen the professional development of social workers across the healthcare spectrum. These online seminars are approved for CEUs by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners and are designed to be interactive, engaging, and directly applicable to the important work you do.

Whether you’re working in hospice, palliative care, case management, outpatient therapy, or community health, this series is for you.

Key Features of the Seminar Series

  • Virtual format
  • 1.5 to 3 CEUs per session
  • Interactive and discussion-driven learning
  • Led by experienced presenters with clinical expertise
  • Planned months in advance to fit your schedule

Each session includes clearly stated learning objectives and opportunities for questions, dialogue, and skill-building. Seminar topics range from clinical supervision and cultural humility to grief, dementia care, music therapy, and ethical end-of-life conversations.
