A clinical social worker is a professional who helps to assess and solve problems related to personal, family, or social situations. They are a key part of the multidisciplinary rehab team. They help provide support for the patient and family, coordinate discharge planning and insurance benefits, and help with money problems and family conflicts.
These professionals typically have at least a master's degree in social work (MSW). They also must complete supervised training and experience. The length of clinical training varies by state but may take several years. Clinical social workers must pass a state license exam to practice. A doctorate in social work is also available (DSW, PhD).
Clinical social workers work in many settings, such as:
Hospitals
Psychiatric care settings
Community organizations
Industrial health centers
Schools
Home health settings
Private practice
Private social service agencies
They qualify as approved providers in most managed care and insurance plans.
