Medical social workers provide unique and vital social services to patients in the midst of challenging medical issues.
No matter the challenge, not a day goes by that isn’t filled with the reward of making a significant difference in the lives of others.
A medical social worker offers the support and resources clients need in order to recover from psychological, emotional and physical consequences of illness or trauma. Sometimes this involves arranging meals and transportation. Sometimes it means providing psychosocial support to crime victims, helping law enforcement in child abuse cases or arranging grief counseling. Medical social workers courageously step into these situations and locate available resources to help people recover or live the remainder of their lives with the greatest possible degree of dignity and independence.
Medical social workers are employed in hospitals, hospices and public or private healthcare institutions. They counsel individual clients and their families, facilitate support groups and coordinate short- and long-term healthcare decisions and services.
A Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work (BSW), Psychology or Sociology may be sufficient for some entry-level social work positions, but is not enough to become a licensed medical social worker. Hospitals and other agencies require a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from an accredited institution. This website was created to provide resources and information to anyone who seeks it.
