Do medical schools actually check how many hours you get? Or do they only care about the length of time (i.e. from January to May)

The reason I ask is because I just checked with a hospital I previously volunteered at and they only keep the record of my hours for 3 months after I stopped--so they're already gone.

They won't check on how many hours you spent. It's an honor system (lot of that in medicine). Just estimate to the best of your ability. 2 hours versus 20 versus 200. That kind of thing.

I was going to go into more detail but this sums it up well.
