So from my understanding there are two crucial components of ECs: shadowing and volunteering/clinical experience. What exactly is volunteering supposed to entail? Just browsing websites of some local hospitals, it seems that most of the 'volunteer' opportunities are decidedly NOT clinical and might even verge on clerical.
Ideally, what kind of tasks are you doing as a volunteer at an ER or a hospital, etc?
Is it well-known that volunteers do very little clinical tasks? Will they ask you at an interview, 'How was your experience at X hospital?', and you say 'Well all I did was shuffle papers.'
Am I missing something here?
