May 23, 2025 I Medical Social Workers from the Region 2 Trauma and Medical Center visited the Medical Social Work Department (MSWD) of Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center (BGHMC) for a benchmarking activity. The visiting team was composed of two Social Welfare Officers II, Ms. Juliet O. Fabro and Ms. Cherokee R. Macalma, and two Social Welfare Officers I, Ms. Lea Mae B. Tayaban and Ms. Judy Ann N. Ngolwot.
MSWD Chief, Ms. Nora B. Mangusan, warmly welcomed the participants and emphasized the value of mutual learning and professional exchange. She highlighted the importance of reciprocity in benchmarking, where both institutions can learn from each otherโs practices and innovations.
Ms. Apryl Gretchen P. Cofin, MSWDโs PMRTDT In-Charge, provided an orientation and shared key best practices. Her presentation covered core areas such as statistics and narrative documentation, social work interventions, and the departmentโs involvement in research and training initiatives.
Participants also engaged in a simulation Group Therapy session using the MSWD Strength-Based Cards, facilitated by MSWD personnel Mr. Filburth M. Macario, Ms. Marjorie April F. Domingcil, and Ms. Michelle B. Ocampo. This interactive session demonstrated how the cards are applied in counseling sessions to promote client empowerment and resilience.
In the afternoon, the group was given a guided tour of essential MSWD satellite units and other departments within BGHMC, providing them with firsthand insights into the departmentโs workflow and service delivery mechanisms.
