Hi,
So I applied to be a volunteer at a hospital, and they say on the website that we can choose whether we'd volunteer in the ER, radiology, medical/surgical, etc. They contacted me saying that they don't offer clinical experience (since, on my application, I wrote that down for one of my reasons for volunteering). They said that volunteers wheel patients to other departments and after discharge, or deliver flowers. But they said I will be contacted again for an interview appointment.
I'm a little confused. Should I not volunteer at this hospital then, because they say they don't offer clinical experience?
Please could someone explain what is meant by this? I don't want to go ahead and volunteer here if the medical schools won't acknowledge this hospital as clinical experience.
