Medical Social Worker Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a medical social worker in Virginia?
To become a medical social worker in Virginia, you need a Master of Social Work degree from a CSWE-accredited program and licensure through the Virginia Board of Social Work. Most hospital and clinical employers require at minimum a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) credential, while senior and clinical roles typically require the Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) designation, which requires supervised post-graduate hours and a licensing exam.
Which companies hire medical social workers in Virginia?
Employers hiring medical social workers in Virginia right now include Amedisys, Bon Secours Mercy Health, and Medical Services of America, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Virginia's large integrated health systems and federally qualified health centers are among the most consistent sources of full-time openings in the state.
Which Virginia cities have the most medical social worker jobs?
Portsmouth, Norfolk, and Richmond have the most medical social worker openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia's concentration of large hospital campuses and specialty care centers drives significant volume there, while Richmond and Norfolk benefit from major academic medical systems like VCU Health and Sentara that maintain ongoing hiring pipelines across inpatient and outpatient settings.
Are there remote medical social worker jobs in Virginia?
Yes, but they're limited. Medical social work is largely a hands-on clinical role requiring in-person patient contact, so fully remote positions are uncommon. About 0% of medical social worker openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of October 2026. The parts of the role most suited to remote work are telephonic case management, utilization review, and care coordination positions with health insurers or managed care organizations.
How can I get hired as a medical social worker in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for social work intern or field placement positions at Virginia hospital systems while completing your MSW program. Large employers like Inova and VCU Health Health System regularly host graduate-level practicum students and sometimes convert them to staff roles after graduation. New graduates without clinical hours often start in care coordination, discharge planning assistant, or behavioral health case manager roles, which build the supervised experience needed for LCSW licensure.
Where can I find and apply to medical social worker jobs in Virginia?
You can find and apply to medical social worker jobs in Virginia on Migrate Mate, which lists current Virginia openings from employers actively hiring right now. Search the available roles, find the ones that match your credentials and experience level, and apply directly.
