Sorry if this has been asked already, but how is clinic work actually judged in comparison to volunteer work?
I ask because I'm planning on working in a private clinic soon as an undergrad (hands on experience + shadowing two long time practicing doctors). Currently it's a challenge to get a position as a regular volunteer at my university's hospital, and so that kind of turns me a away even though I would love to do so work there. Also, can actual clinic work be a substitute for research, and help balance out a somewhat low (3.4) gpa?
I plan on doing all three, just curious.
