What type of volunteering is this classified as?

When I worked with an oncologist for 4 months, I probably spent around 50 hours around nurses, NPs, etc where I would talk with patients having chemo, bring them food/drink, change the channel for them, random small stuff like that. I was around a lot of people with very serious types of cancer, would this happen to be considered clinical volunteering?

yes, this definitely is clinical volunteering. This is pretty much the norm for the types of responsibilities assigned to premeds who don't have any type of special training/qualifications.

Agreed. LizzyM says if you can smell them its clinical...
