How to categorize virtual patient education?

Hi everyone, I am currently volunteering with a free clinic to provide virtual diabetes/nutrition education to Spanish Speaking patients. I give the presentation to the clinic's patients and also serve as an interpreter for the clinic's nutritionist. During these meetings, I get to really learn about the patients as they ask us different questions pertaining to their conditions (5 people max show up so essentially just hearing out patients and trying to help them with their nutrition and diabetes management). I am leaning to classifying it as non clinical volunteering but just wanted to get a sense of what others thought. Thanks guys!

A certified diabetes educator/nutritionist is a health professional, so if you were trained and supervised by one in this activity, this is a clinical experience to me.
