Hello all,
I recently started volunteering as a blood donor screener for the Red Cross, and I was wondering whether it would count as clinical experience. My duties include reading temperatures of donors, and checking in blood, platelet, and Covid-19 plasma donors with the registration system. I also sanitized the facility. Should I classify this as clinical or nonclinical volunteering?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a great experience. I'd call it Non-Clinical. You are volunteering with donors, not patients.
