Research has demonstrated that supervision, provided by experienced social workers, is essential for social work skill development. In many hospices, however, social workers are hired by and report to non-social workers. This session will discuss the benefits of social work supervision for professional development, the positive impact on patient and staff satisfaction, and models for meeting the clinical needs of hospice social workers, including consultation from social work clinical specialists and management by a masters prepared social worker.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify models for social work supervision in hospice settings
2. Discuss the benefits of social work supervision in hospice social work clinical practice
3. Describe the impact of social work supervision on patient and staff satisfaction
