Role of the Social Worker on the Interdisciplinary Team

Ask questions about the role of the social worker on the palliative care team, including distinguishing the role from other disciplines on the palliative care team and navigating competing demands on palliative care social workers from the social work department.

Questions from previous sessions include:

• How do you collaborate with hospital social workers without duplicating services?
• What advice do you have for someone who is the only social worker on the team?

What are the top priorities for developing a palliative care social work program in community settings?
