Abstract	The ongoing emphasis on micro practice and declining interest in macro practice has raised concerns regarding the availability and quality of macro internships. Effective training of macro practitioners entering the field remains necessary for reasons including oversight of staff and student internships. This study examines student and faculty perceptions of macro practice field internship experiences within social work programs across the United States and Canada. Findings suggest the majority of internships are offered within MSW programs. Respondents identified a lack of support from social work programs or field departments and a lack of internships as primary barriers to obtaining quality placements. (As Provided).
