A medical social worker specializes in public health, geriatrics, palliative care, and inpatient medical or mental health care. A nurse works in hospitals or other specialized medical settings like nursing homes, rehab centers, or home care services (such as hospice). Providing psychosocial support to patients and their families is one of their responsibilities. A medical social worker assesses and intervenes as needed as patients and their families cope with psychosocial issues. Medical social workers help individuals maintain or recover their health and strengthen their ability to adapt and reintegrate into society by restoring balance to their personal, family, and social lives. As part of an intervention, patients and families can be connected to community resources and support, such as preventative care, psychotherapy, supportive counseling, or grief counseling; or their social support networks may be strengthened and expanded. The field typically involves collaboration with other disciplines such as medicine, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and recreational therapy. By coordinating patients' care with a larger medical team, medical social workers provide patients and their families with support in hospitals, community clinics, and other health care settings. Many of the non-medical aspects of patient care are handled by social workers in this field, including assisting patients and their families in navigating the medical system, assessing and monitoring mental and emotional well-being, providing short-term counseling and therapy, and communicating patient concerns to the wider medical team. A medical social worker works closely with patients and their families who are experiencing mental, emotional, family, and/or financial stress due to their medical condition. It may be stressful and demanding for medical social workers to work in this field due to the types of challenges they face and the pace of medical settings. Some medical social workers, however, cite the relationships they build with patients, families, and the medical team, combined with the knowledge that they are helping individuals, as the reason they entered and remained in the field.
