non-clinical

By the time I apply I'll have plenty of paid clinical hours at a hospital - so far my non-clinical volunteering, is it acceptable for it to be with animals rather than underprivileged people? I have a passion for animal wellbeing so it's something that would be meaningful to me, but I'm torn...

With COVID restrictions ramping down, I'm finally able to find non-clinical volunteering opportunities. I have found 3-4 activities I find meaningful, and would like to do them once a week (2 of them are very flexible with when I can do them). I'm planning on applying next cycle, which gives me...

Hey, I was wondering how short-term non-clinical volunteering looked like. Specifically, I'm a computer science major, and I'm part of a group this semester that is creating a tutoring app for kids on campus, and we hope to extend this app to anyone in our community. It looks like I'll be...

I'll probably have a real good one from a physician across the street from me who I have shadowed...

Looking for opinions: Lets say an applicant has: Good Stats Strong Leadership ECs Good Clinical Experience (volunteer, shadowing & interning) Good LORs Publications/Research Team Activities BUT no classical volunteer work listed on the primary application (food shelter, homeless,community...

So I'm not sure if my volunteering experience is up to standard. I was an volunteer intern at a rehab clinic for 30-40hrs per week last spring. It ended up around 600+ hours of medically related experience. I volunteered at this clinic in the past as an undergrad, and when I was required to...

An obvious reason to earn a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is to be able to practice as a Clinical Psychologist, but as a Master of Social Work Graduate who is applying for licensure to practice in my state, I am stumped on where to continue. I will already be able to practice Psychotherapy...
