Would 50 hours of training for clinical experience count towards the total hours completed..

on the AMCAS? It's a paid medical position and I received compensation throughout training.

Did you work with patients or sick people during these 50 hours?

Not really

50 hours of training? I only got a 1-hour session max (and it's not just for volunteering but other duties as well)

But if you didn't associate with patients during the 50-hours, you probably shouldn't include them in the total hours.

The extremely close degree to which someone in my position works with the patients requires that I get that amount of training.

Then no. It's not clinical experience if you're just sitting in a room doing training and not actually seeing patients.

And what is it that you do? Just curious. I volunteer in peds often supervising multiple kids and I got less than 1/5 of that including orientation and all related training. I suppose if it were for a paid position there would be much more however.
