Question about clinical hours

I am intending on bringing up my clinical volunteer hours next school year, and have applied to a cancer center in order to do so. The job there is to support patients, whether that mean via conversation or by getting them a cup of coffee if they request it. I wanted to ask if this is seen by medical schools as “clinical hours.” Down the line, potentially during a gap year, I’m thinking about doing a hands-on clinical job like EMS and adding non-clinical volunteering of some sort. Please let me know your thoughts

Why did you post this twice? Yes it will count.

You are face-to-face with PATIENTS. You are speaking to them and responding to their requests. That is clinical.
