Description
Summary:This special supplement of AJPH, initiated by faculty at Boston University's Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health, brings together the fields of social work and public health. Although most of my training and work experience has been in public health, I started my career as a clinical social worker and was asked to serve as a guest editor for the issue. The articles brought me up-to-date on the social work profession; however, they also raised many questions for me, as well as a few concerns, particularly about the future direction of the profession.
