Is it a culinary experience if you can smell the aroma of baking bread from the foyer but never even go into the kitchen?


The "smelling patients" saying came from the idea I had that you didn't have to touch the patients to call it a clinical experience (in some circumstances, volunteers and even some employees are directed not to touch the patients but can handle their wheelchairs, food trays, etc) but you need to be in very close proximity to the patients. You were not close enough to call it a clinical experience. You never interacted with patients and it is unlikely that you ever saw clinicians interacting with them.

Was this paid? Call it employment.
