In the state of Virginia, there currently is an exclusion for Nursing Home and Hospital based social workers functioning in case management roles/titles. If this amendment is passed then the state would need to support social workers in those setting to require licensure as they do complete psychosocial assessments in both settings. NASW today does support medical social workers functioning with a case management job title even though we complete psychosocial assessments, brief therapy, crisis interventions, advocacy and connect clients to community resources.
