Policy and Dissemination
A core objective
of IGSW is to influence policy-makers to expand practice
and reimbursement options for geriatric social work
practice.  IGSW
conducts a variety of policy development and analysis
activities, as well as disseminates findings from research
and its education and training efforts.
The overall
goals of IGSW ’s policy and dissemination activities
are:
- to serve as a source of balanced information and
commentary on geriatric social work, addressing topics
such as evidence-based practice, work force trends,
and the quality of continuing professional education
for practicing social workers
- to work collaboratively with social work education
programs, local and national social work and social
service organizations, and public policy makers
- to actively engage policy makers to improve reimbursement,
practice and employment opportunities for geriatric
social workers.
