“…Social workers who work as the sole social worker on a health care team must often negotiate their role on an interdisciplinary team without consultation with other members of their profession ( Oliver, 2013). Hugman (2009) acknowledged that the role of social work is often directed by the goals of the agency.…”

“…"If social work cannot show that it can do certain things, then its authority will be challenged" ( Hugman, 2009( Hugman, , p. 1143. Competence in a particular task may direct practice more than professional scope ( Oliver, 2013). Oliver (2013) stated that the professional identity of social workers is weakened by conflicting messages within the profession itself.…”

“…Competence in a particular task may direct practice more than professional scope ( Oliver, 2013). Oliver (2013) stated that the professional identity of social workers is weakened by conflicting messages within the profession itself. Ongoing debates concerning micro or macro practice models, and philosophical debates between medical model and anti-oppressive paradigms, may cause new practitioners to struggle in their attempts to determine the nature of their role within an interdisciplinary team ( Hugman, 2009;Oliver, 2013).…”

Interprofessional collaboration is increasingly being seen as an important factor in the work of social workers. A focus group was conducted with Canadian social work educators, practitioners, and students to identify barriers and facilitators to collaboration from the perspective of social work. Participants identified six themes that can act as barriers and facilitators to collaboration: culture, self-identity, role clarification, decision making, communication, and power dynamics. These findings carry important implications for interprofessional collaboration with social workers in health practice.

Les rapides changements structurels dans l’organisation des services complexifient le développement d’une identité professionnelle (IP) forte chez les travailleurs sociaux, pourtant essentielle à une pratique éthique. L’objectif de cette étude qualitative est d’explorer l’IP d’étudiants finissant au baccalauréat en travail social. Les résultats montrent comment l’IP est définie par les participants, ainsi que les quatre lieux qui contribuent spécifiquement à son développement. Discutant cette conceptualisation, des pistes de réflexion favorisant le développement d’une IP plus forte chez les étudiants en travail social sont identifiées.

“…Calls for collaborative, impact-oriented science resonate with social work, which has always been concerned to closely link its science, service, and social change missions (Kirk & Reid, 2002). As an integrative, boundary-spanning profession (Mor Barak & Brekke, 2014; Oliver, 2013), social work is well positioned for leadership in TD efforts. An emphasis on cross-disciplinary research is thus evident in discussions regarding shaping a science of social work (Brekke, 2012; 2013), proposals to focus the profession on meeting grand challenges (Grand Challenges Executive Committee, 2013), the Society for Social Work & Research’s 2012–2017 strategic plan, and the Group for Doctoral Education’s (GADE) recently published Quality Guidelines for Doctoral Education (Harrington, Petr, Black, Cunningham-Williams, & Bentley, 2013).…”

Research models that bridge disciplinary, theoretical, and methodological boundaries are increasingly common as funders and the public push for timely, effective, collaborative responses to pressing social and environmental problems. Although social work is inherently an integrative discipline, there is growing recognition of the need to better prepare emerging scholars for sophisticated transdisciplinary and translational research environments. This paper outlines a developmental, competency-oriented approach to enhancing the readiness of doctoral students and emerging scholars in social work and allied disciplines for transdisciplinary research, describes an array of pedagogical tools applicable in doctoral course work and other program elements, and urges coordinated attention to enhancing the field’s transdisciplinary training capacity.
