hello everyone,
I have interned at an emergency room for a semester, I have also interned/volunteered at a hospital abroad. However, I currently hold a paid position that is called a "nutrition representative" within a hospital. This is basically the person that delivers trays to patients and takes their menu order. However, nutrition/dietetic knowledge is needed due to the different diet restraints many patients are on. I also communicate plenty with nurses and have picked up valuable patient interaction, interviewing them and consulting them over the things they may or may not be allowed to eat due to the restraints on their diets.
Overall my question is, does this position count as "good hospital experience?" and do you all think this position will help me in my medical school application?
Lastly, what would count as a good hospital experience for an undergrad?
thank you,
