Does my job count as clinical experience?

[Christy_bandb]

My official title is imaging modality coordinator. I basically maintain the flow of the department, making sure the mri machines are kept full. Most of my time is spent talking with the nurses over the phone but I do help the techs transfer patients to the mri table, greet them when they arrive, provide blankets, and transport them when needed. Is this clinical?

Yes

Borderline clinical. Transporting people or calling nurses isn't exactly patient centered

 

[Mr.Smile12]

Clinical employment, yes.

You are face-to-face with patients. You speak to them. You assure their comfort (blankets) and safety (safe transfers). That more than meets my long-time definition of clinical for the purposes of MD admissions.
