Medical Social Work Practice: A Christian Approach is a foundational text that shapes and integrates Christian faith and applies grounded social work theories into medical social work practice broadly for students to easily grasp basic knowledge of social work practice in healthcare settings. Medical Social Work Practice is emerging as one of the most sought-after careers post-graduate school. Many hospitals, wellness clinics, and healthcare organizations are realizing the importance of having medical social workers as part of their multidisciplinary teams. In many cases medical social workers help to enhance quality of care of consumers.
Today, social workers are a driving force in connecting consumers seeking medical care to appropriate community resources and support services to enable healthier life outcomes. Social workers are also providing the majority of psychosocial education on environmental and social factors that influence consumers’ overall health and mental wellbeing in primary care settings.
The book’s chapters align with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) to provide students with practical knowledge on how to engage diversity and differences in medical social work practice and understanding on how to work towards advancing human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice in healthcare. In its entirety Medical Social Work Practice: A Christian Approach will incorporate evidence based practice modalities that enhances students understanding and encourages innovative ideas while adhering to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of ethics in the profession.
