I want to be a medical social worker!!! I'm only in my freshman year but I'm majoring in social work with a double minor in heathcare ethics and public health. I want to go on to get my joint MSW/MPH and become an emergency room advocate!! Ultimately, my goal for my later career is to serve on some kind of state/provincial medical board to be able to help enact widespread change within the healthcare profession. I'll probably retire to being a medical ethicist once I become too old to work with patients one-on-one. I'm dreaming big!!!

I want to be a social worker and this is one of the reasons I was drawn to the field. You can work in every possible setting.

I want to go back to school for this.

Do you wear a uniform? Was it Boot Camp?

I am going in with a few years of medical billing experience. A lot of discharge planning can get interrupted by waiting on insurance hurdles like pre-authorization or denials because the diagnosis code(s) not being the one the insurance company wants. It's easier maneuvering through all that if you're onsite but I've also tried arranging all that from a call center and that can be very difficult. It can be emotionally and energetically draining making arrangements through a call center and contacting the EXACT people that you need in contrast than when you are onsite and walk up to the person you need. Whenever you finish (or come to some sort of resolution) there is already someone else on the line wanting the same above and beyond treatment. Most facilities can recognize call center phone numbers and its nearly impossible to get past "Mary" the front desk receptionist to get you to the person that can make the change that you need. I start my baccalaureate this Spring, but I am leaning more toward the psychological therapy and behavioral health sector.

I love u work, mana. I am also a student of social in Nigeria U have not talked about counseling social work

This video was super helpful! I'm a sophomore in college and I'm planning to switch my major to social work, but when I was telling people about it, I realized I didn't know all of the details. This video helped clear it up a bit and gave me a better idea of the different jobs a social worker can have.

Well said Doctor 👍

Thanks so much this vedio has open up my understanding about social work as I am planning to go into this field. Keep up the good work

So I just started my SW internship in a school setting, and I feel like my task supervisor is giving me the same task every day to stand in the cafe or go outside to observe kids. When there are any important invites where I could shine and show what I could do, she always says, "When we have a next workshop, I will include you in it,when she could have told me about it. I saw her doing a 1-on-1 with a student and asked if I could join, and she said, Yeah, sure, doll. The whole time, she was just looking at me with a straight face, and she will leave the placement when the day is over and not even say goodbye to me and the other intern. Like, what should I do? Because I love to become a social worker, but I'm not feeling like I'm learning anything and don't have the proper guidance to enhance my skills.

I am interested in studying social worker. Up towhat age can one still study that and get employed thereafter?

What high school subjects are needed to be a medical school worker

Hello I’m in grade 10 what high school subject do you suggest I take

At my internship, im at a school. I get called into the office every month for the smallest things. I'm being watched all day long. Im only there 2 days out the week. It feels like 5. Im always anxious. I hate it. Im on the verge of quitting. The other intern from another school fakes the funk. She hates it too, but they (yt) love her. I just can't be fake.

Thank you for letting us about social issues

Is there any difference between mental social worker and psychiatric social worker

Hello, thank you for providing so much insight on social work. I am currently looking for a masters degree program so that I can become an ER social worker. Do you have any recommendations of what type of masters program I should look into so that I can become an ER social worker? For example, which programs would be more beneficial for this type of work (hope this makes sense). Thanks again for all your insight!

I’m in a pretty bad place in my internship. I’m glad I came here because I felt like I am stuck here

I agree. I've been a medical SW x >20 years. Get a clinical license -- you'll need those clinical skills. My MSW program had a health concentration.

This is an interesting field to explore

Do you have any advice for social work consulting? I don’t know if I want to do therapy full time. I graduate in May with my MSW and I want to be moving or go into case management , hospital or consulting.
