If you are not interacting with current patients, it would not be considered clinical.
Would you say one is more important than the other? Or is it important to have a good balance between both clinical and non-clinical?

Clinical is more important, but non-clinical is also important because it shows you are altruistic. I think there is also a lot more variety in non-clinical which can set you apart.
To have your application appeal broadly to the most possible schools, having both clinical experience (whether through work or volunteerism) and non medical community service is important.
Mais oui, @JeSuisUnDoc.
You are dealing with people who are stressed and dealing with an anxiety producing situation involving a sick or injured loved one. While you may not be dealing with patients, it is a valuable experience that would not go unnoticed by the adcom.
Thank you all! @LizzyM @JeSuisUnDoc. I lack some clinical hours compared to non-clinical, so was wondering if I could allot the time here to clinical.
