Clinical Experience vs Shadowing vs Volunteering | OldPreMeds Podcast Ep. 230
Показать описание
How do you tell if something counts as clinical experience? It's not about the title of the position. And it's not about being in a hospital. Let's talk about clinical experience on today's OldPreMeds Podcast!
Today I'm answering a question from a nontraditional premed who has a potential opportunity to volunteer at a local free health clinic, working in the lab section. The message describes the position and asks whether this counts as clinical.
Here are some points I discuss:
• What is clinical experience vs shadowing vs volunteering?
• Do you need volunteer AND paid clinical experience?
• Why shadowing does not count as clinical experience.
• Why I can't always tell you whether an activity is clinical experience based on the title of the position.
• Why the phrase "limited patient interaction" tells me this is likely NOT clinical experience.
• Does scribing count as clinical experience or shadowing?
• What are some other examples of clinical experiences?
• Does being a pharmacy tech or E.R. registration person count as clinical experience?
