In this episode, Dana and I discuss her experience working both in Australia and the USA in a variety of settings, but particularly her strong interest in rehabilitation medicine. We discuss her passion for supporting adjustment to disability and finding that new ‘normal’ with clients. We also touch on the role of case management in a hospital rehabilitation setting and the value and impact of social work in this context.
