For ERAS, is an observership "work" or "volunteer" experience?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

The only categories they give in the Experience section of ERAS are: Work, Research, Volunteer.

So how would one categorize a non-paying observership?

Volunteer - you weren't paid (work) and it didn't produce a publication (research)
 
ughh,, 1-1 so far,,,,

can someone else chime in to tilt the balance please?
 
"Include Clinical and Teaching experience as work experiences, include all unpaid extra-curricular activities and committees you have served on as volunteer experiences"
Looked it up to support my post, but the wording supports @splik's post... "Include Clinical [...] experience as work experiences"
