@LizzyM : Thanks! For this particular position, I had HIPAA, fire safety, and universal precautions training (granted it was all in the beginning rather than every week, does that make a difference?) and I do check in w/ the volunteer office each week. Would the training (even though it was pretty brief from what I recall, no more than a couple of hours) be something I should be sure to include for this particular position (in AMCAS) or is it assumed / would it seem excessive to include it?This is a gray zone. It should certainly not be your only clinical experience. If a pop star goes to the hospital to sing for groups of patients, does the pop star have clinical experience?
Did you undergo volunteer training including HIPAA, fire safety, and universal precautions? Do you check in with the volunteer office each time you play? How often do you make these visits?
I think to be on the safe side you should list this as performing arts or whatever that tag is and then mention that you share your musical skills with hospital patients and their families.
