Market context
In Michigan, MSW social worker roles in healthcare are commonly tied to patient discharge planning, care coordination, and support for complex medical and social needs, so employers often look for candidates with direct post-degree healthcare experience. These positions can be competitive because a master’s degree, a valid Michigan driver’s license, and a preferred Michigan MSW license narrow the applicant pool.
