Pros

Ideal role if you want a paycheck and want to obtain generalist skills.

Cons

Very little acknowledgement or support to Social Workers. Interdisciplinary teams members are dismissive as they expect new Social Work staff to know all aspects of the role. Training is not fluid and leader led; Celebrating Social Work month was an after thought as was only acknowledged via a Thank you email. Little to no career advancement. Little to no skill development

SSM Health Response
