I have a lot of experience volunteering with a foundation that provides financial aid to families who have a family member undergoing cancer treatment. I'm just not sure where this fits in. It is "patient contact" in the sense that I am in contact with those undergoing cancer treatment but its not "clinical" in the sense that my experience is in an office setting or at events. What would you consider this/is there any guidelines that would help me decide?
Question about considering volunteering clinical/non-clinical?

-Do you have face-to-face contact with family members, clients, current patients, or do you designate them with a different term?
-Are you involved more with philanthropy efforts, with interviewing and getting background information, or what?
-What is the nature of your conversation? Are you discussing their medical status and treatment or their financial difficulties?
