1) Yes.
2) Include it if you have no other active clinical experience to list.
3) Certifications should be mentioned with the activity for which they are relevant.
4) You will have to track down whether you're a member,or not include them. Old credit card receipts or bank statements should have clues. Alternatively, your Registrar may have a record.
5) Because a balanced application lends itself to more appeal, I agree that for you keeping it under Community Service/Volunteer is a better idea, but since it double counts for Teaching too, you'd want to include the word "Coach" in the name you give the activity. And if there is a component of leadership, you can make that clear in your description.
(Side note) Many members of the volunteer staff contributed their ideas to the FAQ part of this series of Tips threads over the years, and it isn't necessarily attributable to the Mod who first posts. Personally, I think that more adcomms feel that coaching belongs under Teaching, as those one coaches are rarely one's peers. And it is "peer" leadership that is most valuable.
Catalystik,
Thank you so much!
