title: Generic social work practice and family practice: students build a foundation for partnership.
abstract: Generic social work practice and family practice medicine complement each other. Placing first year field students in a family practice residency training program over a period of years can define the social work role broadly and open the door for a wide range of practice opportunities. The social work presence can help family medicine attain its goal of comprehensive, holistic care.
