I think clinical needs to be in the context of Homo sapiens to count. Still a really cool project though.

So I work with a team of volunteer plant pathologists and entomologists in diagnosing and treating the plants of residents in my community. 200+ hrs over the past three years.

Would this be considered clinical experience?

Absolutely not, (even if the plants exude aroma and you can smell them) however, it's an excellent, rare activity that will help you stand out.

Wat.

Smartass remarks aside, nifty experience!

What do you think the word "clinical" means?

Thanks! I have other experiences working with actual patients but just thought I'd ask for AMCAS purposes.

In the flowering of time, it might leave one to think so. This might stem from the fact that this was OP's first post after logging in.

No.

OP is not trolling. He/she is reffering to the sick plant clinic at UC Berkeley's botanical garden.

Edit: also, go bears

 

[pyrrion89]

if you're close enough to smell the plants, it's a clinical experience

 

[Wahed]

if you're close enough to smell the plants, it's a clinical experience

maybe, if youre trying to be a plant doctor.

OP have you considered becoming a plant doctor?

I seed what you did there. You had to beat the bushes to come up with that one. Weed like you to try harder.

I'm trying to come up with a tree pun of my own, but I'm stumped. Guess I'll have to go against the grain and not make one. Anyway, keep the puns coming; I'm pining for more.

Before you attempt a tree pun, you need to go back to your roots and practice. After you can run rings around the easy puns, you can grow into the hard ones.

Hey, Bud, let me give you some sage advice: It's OK to pepper your comments with humor from thyme to thyme.
