I'm guessing that both hospital volunteering and shadowing count for clinical experience, though I was wondering if people usually do both of these for medical school. It seems as if shadowing is more observational, while volunteering might be more hands-on. Cedars-Sinai has a independent student volunteer program which allows for students to pick an area of interest and serve under a mentor. It seems to be more in line with shadowing, and so is it really necessary to volunteer at the hospital in addition to this? Thanks.
