What exactly defines clinical experience and enough of it? For example, I work as a pharmacy technician in a hospital. Does that qualify as clinical experience even though I have no direct patient contact. And how much clinical experience is needed? I think a lot of physician assistant schools require between 250-500 hours. Do med schools have similiar requirements that aren't published?
