The Steve Hicks School and the Dell Medical School are advancing the role of social work as an agent of health care transformation through the creation of the Department of Health Social Work, the first of its kind in the nation to be embedded in a medical school.
The department provides an academic home for clinical and non-clinical social workers at the Dell Medical School as well as a bridge to the Steve Hicks School, through which to receive support for professional development, research and educational opportunities.
“We are taking an important step toward including every voice and valuing everyone’s expertise within the fields of health care. This is a real boon for our profession,” said Barbara Jones, the department’s inaugural chair and the associate dean for health affairs at the Steve Hicks School.
