Pedagogical Reflections on Practitioner Training Programs

The advent of career-oriented applied anthropology programs, devoted at least in part to preparing students for employment outside academia, is still a relatively recent development. It was not until the eighties that practitioners training programs began to be examined and observations shared with peer groups (Hyland and Kirkpatrick 1989; Trotter 1988; Kushner 1994). As we enter the new millennium, these training programs have demonstrated the positive value of a practicum or internship experience (Kushner and Wolfe 1993; Smith, Wolfe and Chambers 1981) for producing academically trained practitioners of applied anthropology. In some respects, the experiences of those programs that have developed at the master's level are of particular interest, simply because the discipline has had so little prior experience regarding masters as a professional level degree
