Abstract	This article makes specific suggestions for teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) in the master's-in-social-work (MSW) curriculum. The authors use the model of EBP as it was originally conceived: a process for posing empirically answerable questions, finding and evaluating the best available evidence, and applying that evidence in conjunction with client characteristics and practitioner judgment. The authors suggest that EBP, in its original form, is both sufficiently well operationalized and flexible to serve as a primary paradigmatic component of social work education. Furthermore, EBP carries a series of distinct advantages for MSW education that have not been widely recognized to date. These include the provision of a structure for more explicitly recognizing client factors, bridging the micro-macro and researcher-clinician divides, and emphasizing the professionalism of MSW-level practice. Specific curricular components are proposed and discussed. (As Provided).
