Does my job count as clinical experience?

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

 

[AlbinoHawk DO]

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.
