I'm going to start volunteering at a hospital this week and they have a pharmacy but no volunteer positions for it.
Would it really be any better to have pharmacy volunteer experience as opposed to hospital volunteer experience?
My school says that volunteering isn't even a requirement but that it'll help (and I know that it does help).
Personally, I think that it doesn't really matter. What's far more important is what you take away from the experience.
Furthermore, I've heard that a volunteer can't really do much at most pharmacies due to legal regulations. Therefore simply shadowing a pharmacist would probably be good enough.
Can anyone else chime in on this?
