Can volunteering at a hospice count for clinical experience and volunteering?
Hi kparandeh,
Hospice would be clinical volunteering, not clinical experience. Clinical experience is generally a paid position where you’re “close enough to smell the patient”, like being a scribe, medical assistant, EMT, or medical/surgical tech.
Hope this helps,
Jay
Thanks for the reply Jay.
What about firefighting? I currently respond to a variety of medical calls every day: VSA, trouble breathing, trauma, allergies, etc. Does that count?
What about non-urgent ambulance driving? I’ve always wondered about that one. You can definitely “smell them” in this scenario haha.
Let me know what you think mate
