title: The responsibility of social work in medical education.
abstract: This article is a plea for education toward a greater understanding of each other's disciplines for both physicians and social workers. It describes the 1971 summer experience of two medical students, whose perceptions changed over the course of the summer, not only towards social workers, but towards their own treatment approach.Sociology is too generalized and abstract for inclusion in medical education. Social work is more clinical, and should therefore be included.
