This study will use qualitative methodology in the form of structured interviews to investigate the current role of Social Work at a large teaching hospital in Ontario across program areas. The aim of this study is to differentiate which core skills are necessary for every Social Worker functioning in a hospital environment as well as the skills needed for areas of specialty. This study also seeks to understand more broadly how these Social Workers feel about their work, how they interact with other disciplines and how they uphold the Social Work Code of Ethics within their roles.
