The development of an international social work educational exchange between Mount Sinai Medical Center and key social workers in health care organizations in Israel and Australia supported the notion that western social workers from different parts of the world, facing comparable social-health problems, can learn from each other, but only if ideas and "methodologies are selectively adapted" (Midgley, 1990, p. 297) to allow for regional and cultural differences. When objectives are comparable, content and experiences can be shared, and knowledge and practice can be adapted to meet social-health needs of given populations, within the context of respective government policies and expectations.
西奈山医疗中心与以色列和澳大利亚医疗保健组织中的主要社会工作者开展的国际社会工作教育交流表明，来自世界不同地区、面临类似社会健康问题的西方社会工作者能够相互学习，但前提是要“有选择地调整理念和‘方法’”（米德格利，1990年，第297页），以适应地区和文化差异。当目标具有可比性时，内容和经验就可以共享，知识和实践也可以进行调整，以便在各自政府政策和期望的背景下满足特定人群的社会健康需求。
