extracurricular hours

[premedprepa]

Hi everyone! just wondering, what is considered the base amount of hours of experience shadowing, volunteering (both clinical/nonclinical), research, and paid clinical work?
I am under the impression around:

shadowing: 60 hrs
clinical vol: 200 hrs
nonclin vol: 150 hrs
research: not "required" but a few hundred hrs if possible
paid clin work: not "required" but some experience if possible

I know it's not about just getting a certain number of hours but rather learning from the experiences but are these around the avg minimums?

Thank you!

@LizzyM previously gave a great answer to this very question: How many volunteer hours are solid?.

You are in the ballpark for averages.
