Volunteer Hours

[pharmalang]

Hey everyone 🙂 On the PharmCAS, when you list your Volunteer experience, do the hours have to be logged? For instance, for Volunteer experience such as those from a hospital, do we need to obtain a log sheet?

Thanks in advance.

No one will ever ask you to prove your hours.

Hours are estimated so you don't need a log sheet.

I wouldnt exaggerate any volunteer hours though. No one will ask you to prove your hours; however, school can still check if needed.

"These days, most of the falsified documents deal with inaccurate reporting of information or exaggerating experiences, hours and/or time lines. It's pretty easy for us to verify this stuff by making a few phone calls and putting pieces together." - Admission Director of UCSF
