My story is this...

I've spent a considerable amount of time shadowing a family doc back home and a heme/onc doc when I'm up at school. This past summer I had an unpaid internship in my county's medical examiner's office where I assisted in performing autopsies (I was basically shadowing a surgical pathologist, right?) and performed some fun janitorial duties.

My question is this...

Do my experiences qualify as volunteer experiences?

I certainly wasn't paid. So, I was volunteering. But, I also don't really help the docs I shadow (besides making their days super fun).

If not, what would you describe them as on a resume?

Please give me some insight.
