A Day in the Life of a Medical Social Worker
Medical Social Workers (MSWs) provide care to patients and their families by addressing the psychological, emotional, social, economic and physical impact that their medical condition(s) have on their lives.
MSWs provide counselling support, crisis intervention, financial assistance, as well as care arrangements and support for caregivers.
