Abstract
At present, relatively little national data are available concerning the involvement of social workers in medical education. This article presents the results of a study conducted recently to obtain a comprehensive, up-to-date profile of graduate-level social workers teaching in medical schools and to survey the opinions of medical school deans regarding their present and future status. Continuing research in this area is essential if we are to acquire a greater understanding of the contribution social workers make to contemporary medical education. Only then will we be better equipped to assess social work's potentials for the future and take those steps necessary to bring them to fruition.
