So, right now I am majoring in clinical laboratory sciences. The program requires clinical rotations in a laboratory setting. Would this experience count as some type of clinical experience for medical school? I keep hearing conflicting answers from pre-med counselors, and the internet. During this clinical rotation, we learn how to analyze patient samples in hematology, chemistry, blood bank, and microbiology. We even have a phlebotomy rotation. Can anyone that majored in or is currently studying medical laboratory science share your experience on how you documented/plan on documenting clinical rotations for your medical school applications?

If you have contact directly with patients, possibly. If you’re in the lab just running tests, no. Unsure about whether they can count if they’re simply required by your major.
