Medical assistant volunteer

[Ellopoppet]

Does volunteering as a medical assistant in a hospital count as clinical or non-clinical volunteering?

I answer calls, order medical records in files, and do some other paperwork.

Thanks

Are you in close physical proximity to patients?

I often hand them their medications/ take their paperwork under a glass window.

It's fine. Leave out anything that may sound questionable.

Well, that's face-to-face even if you can't "smell them" due to the window glass. I'd count those interactions as "clinical".
