Does shadowing pharmacists count as healthcare related experience?

I'm applying late because I recently decided I wanted to apply to pharmacy school. I have shadowed 2 pharmacists but don't know if this would count as healthcare related experience. Anyone know?

Also I did work for an optometry last year as the receptionist. I helped sale glasses, bill customers, and verify glasses prescriptions. Would this count at all? :/

It's up to you whether you think it is healthcare related or not. If I were you I would just put yes...

yah its healthcare experience, it was an experience for you and it was in a healthcare setting.

If you visit someone in the hospital: "it was an experience for you and it was in a healthcare setting", so it's also counted lol

Well, your experiences maybe counted but they are very weak !

The answer to this question is simple! YES! just depends on how much though. Shadowing for a few days counts as health experience, just the bare minimum though.
