I know this is an over asked question, but I haven't seen a post similar to my situation.
I am a volunteer at a therapeutic horseback riding center for handicapped people and veterans. I walk with the horse and the rider through their lesson. Does this count as clinical experience? Riders are there for the psychological and medical benefit of riding, it isn't just for fun.
Would it be better if I started volunteering at a hospital in a more standard clinical setting? Unfortunately, I would have to pick one over the other because my time is very limited. I just want to make the best choice my med school application. I would rather switch my volunteer path sooner than later!
Thanks!
