    Abstract:
    Interest in teamwork has fluctuated over the last several decades, with recent renewed interest. As social workers become more involved in working with older people in the coming years, their success will hinge on collaboration with other health providers. Schools of social work and clinical sites must address this through the development of educational curricula and clinical programs which prepare social workers to work on interdisciplinary geriatric health care teams. Based on the experience of the national Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training (GITT) Program, this article presents an overview of the necessary team skills for social workers, educational methods for teach ing teamwork developed at the GITT sites, and some teaching challenges.
