For those with clinical jobs/volunteering, did you include the time spent in training/orientation for your respective positions in the hour figures you submitted to AMCAS/AACOMAS? Is this looked down upon?

Thanks

Yes I did and no it is not. Training is still hours you committed towards the end result.

For volunteer positions, I suggest you don't include training time/orientation hours. For employment, if you got paid to be there, go ahead and count them.

Awesome! It was for my telemetry job which is my go-to for patient contact, and I was paid for the hours. Thank you for the responses!
