I just had a simple question - I need to add more clinical experience to my application and was wondering does working as a personal caregiver for an elderly person count towards clinical experience if its at-home? Thank you.
 
it does

you want clinical experience hours to be with more than just one or a handful of such patient type populations, but this is clinical experience
