PART 2. NEPHROLOGY SOCIAL WORK: LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
Abstract:
The field of nephrology social work has undergone considerable change since the release of the 1976 federal regulations requiring a master's level social worker to be part of the renal team. Moderated by veteran nephrology social worker Stephanie Johnstone, LCSW, those who have served patients in the front lines of kidney care speak here about the past-"What has nephrology social work contributed in the last three decades, and what it has struggled to accomplish?" - and about the future: "How can nephrology social workers best serve patients in the years ahead? Where is their greatest potential to advance the industry?" Ms. Johnstone, an NN&I Editorial Advisory Board member, has worked for Fresenius Kidney Care for over 33 years. She is currently the Field Support Liaison, Clinical Innovations Team and Lead Social Worker, So Cal Region for FKC, and is based in San Diego.
