In addition to watching/shadowing, I did a lot of chair-side assisting, sterilizing instruments, interacting with the patients and office task (all without pay). Since I did not get paid, do list it separately as volunteering or do I list all of it as a part of shadowing? If I need to list into different categories, how do I break down hours? After the first two weeks of shadowing, I've been doing mostly physical task instead of plain shadowing. Thank you in advance for your help.
As a part of shadowing, I did chairside assisting along other things. Should I list it as shadowing?

Perfect. Just wanted to make sure because as you know some states require mandatory licensing. I'd list it as volunteering because you weren't paid yet you did more than shadow. List the shadowing hours from the 2 weeks separately if you want.
