The thing that is throwing off the people taking your calls is your request for "patient contact". You don't need to touch the patients to have a clinical experience but "patient contact" is sometimes interpreted to mean touching. You don't want to get stuck working in the gift shop or stocking shelves somewhere but you can have a good experience in the emergency department, in the pediatric department of a large hospital or in a children's hospital, also try rehabilitation hospitals and VA medical centers. Pushing patients in wheelchairs, playing games with patients, sitting with a patient who is confused to keep them from becoming agitated, would all count as clinical experience. I even interviewed someone whose major experience was in the surgical waiting room. She had to keep things tidy, make coffee and comfort distressed family members who were often getting bad news or sick with worry waiting for news.
