Dr. Auerbach is a Professor of Social Work at the Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Yeshiva University; in addition, he was a visiting professor of emergency medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine from 2005 to 2007.
Dr. Auerbach has conducted extensive research on patient length of stay and the importance of social work in acute care hospitals. This has led to numerous publications as well and has made him a leader in this area. He also collaborated with the Hearing and Speech Center at LIJ on newborn infant hearing testing.
Dr. Auerbach collaborated with the Social Work Education Consortium, as part of two longitudinal studies funded by the Children’s Bureau on retention of child welfare workers. His research has led to a number of seminal articles on child welfare work force retention. From this research two important widely used scales were developed, the Intention to Leave scale and the Perception of Child Welfare Workers Scale. Dr Auerbach recently developed an open-source software package, SSD for R, for the R statistical environment that is specifically designed to analyze single-subject data. The software is a companion to a book SSD for R: An R Package for Analyzing Single-Subject Data 2nd ed. (Oxford University Press, 2022). Two subsequent books on R to promote its use in the field of social service: Making your Case: Using R for Program Development (Oxford University Press, 2015) and Basic Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Using R (Oxford University Press, 2019).
