So this may or may not be an atypical experience but I will be moving abroad (East Asia) for two years before applying doing some research and other activities however I still want to volunteer in the hospitals. One of the options I have is to volunteer in the foreigner hospitals/clinics where everyone speaks English and the staff received their medical degrees in the US (90 percent of the time anyway)
However I am also interested in volunteering in the local hospitals. I speak the language so I'm not worried about that aspect but when it's time to apply would it be damaging to have volunteering and Shadowing hours from a hospital abroad? I don't want to not do any type of Shadowing just because I am abroad. I'll likely do both anyway but which would I be able to put in an app.
