 Medical social workers enjoy interesting and
rewarding jobs. By helping patients navigate the
healthcare system and work towards wellness, you
can feel good about the work you every day working
for a hospital or medical office. Although no two jobs
in hospital social work are the same, here are five
common job duties you'll likely be assigned at some
point in your career.
 Sometimes, you must stand up for your patients and
advocate for their rights to culturally appropriate
healthcare. This may mean pointing out that a
patient struggles with literacy, financial resources or
transportation needs and working with the patient's
medical team to overcome these problems.
Physicians are often frustrated by patients who don't
follow medical orders, but you can help medical
workers understand the barriers your patients face.
 In many healthcare teams, social workers provide
mental health assessment and counseling. Rather
than call in a psychiatrist from outside of the
hospital, doctors may ask a social worker with a
master's of social work (MSW) degree to assess a
patient's mental well-being. You can serve as a
critical first step in connecting your patients to
mental healthcare services by deciding if formal
psychiatric care is needed.
 One of the biggest impacts you can have as a
hospital-based social worker is by providing patient
education. Numerous studies have shown that
educated patients have better outcomes, but nurses
and doctors often struggle with heavy caseloads that
prevent them from spending enough time with every
patient. You can help patients understand their
discharge paperwork, ensure they know how to
obtain and use their medications and explain the
importance of follow-up visits.
 Patients often experience self-esteem issues when
undergoing treatment. For example, cancer patients
may need to actively work to rebuild their self-image
after chemotherapy and other treatments. As a
medical social worker, you can organize and lead
peer groups for patients dealing with the side effects
of visiting the hospital. This could be a recovery
group for women with cancer, a support group for
new parents or a socialization group for parents of
children with chronic illnesses.
 A master's in social work degree splits its focus
between macro- and micro-level skills, so you'll
graduate with the policy and organizational
background to lead changes at the community level.
To promote health in your neighborhood, you might
partner with a local farmer's market to increase
access to fresh produce, convince the busing agency
to create more routes to your healthcare facility or
work with your school board to promote healthy
activities for children.
