Fine to quit clinical volunteering that I put anticipated hours for?

[sparky7189]

I have a hospital volunteering opportunity where I had around 100 hours after 7 months and I put down anticipated hours for it due as I applied this cycle. I recently started a medical assistant full time job and won't be able to make this volunteering anymore.

Will I need to notify schools that I am quitting this volunteer due to my new job? Will it look bad on a reapplication if I quit it despite putting down anticipated hours (I know schools like to see long term commitment).

Thank you!

You don't need to notify anyone unless you are updating anyway, and this is exactly why we pay very little attention to anticipated hours.

For screening, I ignore "anticipated hours." After all, it don't mean a thing without a ring. Or a PMID (PubMed ID).
