How do I divide up my shadowing, clinical, and nonclincial volunteering hours at the same clinic?

I volunteer (both clinically and nonclinically) at a clinic, along with shadowing. Where on the application do I put this, and should I divide this up into 3 sections or keep it as 1 large chunk under the same clinic?

You should definitely divide shadowing and volunteering, but you could probably keep nonclinical and clinical volunteering together on your app since it was at the same hospital. I guess it depends on what exactly your volunteering consisted of?

This was at a clinic for the homeless; nonclinical was mostly admin stuff and setting up meetings, ect. Clinical was directly with the patient, such as taking vitals. I'm just afraid of "double dipping" on an application.

If you have the spaces, and the carved out hours for all three activities can stand on their own, you can use three different spaces, each with their own hours, category, and description, even though the dates, location, and Contact would be the same.. Do you have an idea of how many hours would go into each category?

Do you have other clinical and nonclinical volunteering?

If you've spent a lot of time doing each, then they could stand on their own. But then again, if they ran together a lot in the day to day then you might be better off just categorizing them together. It depends whether you strictly volunteered clinically and nonclinically on separate occasions if that makes sense.

I have other nonclinical volunteering, yes. As far as the hours are concerned, the nonclinical/clinical hours are mixed together, but I think I could approximate each. The shadowing hours are separate though.

Thinking back over the time spent with the activities, you probably have a good idea of the percent time spent in each category, and can extrapolate hours from that. As long s your Contact agrees with your assessment, you're good to go.

If the nonclinical volunteering portion is on the low side, another strategy to "beef up" the space, would be to combine two nonclinical activities in one slot.
