After reading a lot of threads here on SDN, I'm getting a little confused at what exactly is "clinical experience". Going with the whole "if you can smeel the patient, it's clinical experience" definition, I always thought volunteering at the hospital would be considered clinical experience. However, some people here consider clinical experience and clinical volunteering two separate things. In fact, I found a post online that said during a Georgetown School of Medicine info session, it was explicitly stated that they don't consider hospital volunteering as "clinical experience". Can anyone explain the difference between the two, if there even is a difference?
