Ok, I have done a lot of research on this to determine what counts and what doesn't for both clinical experience an so medically-related volunteering. I have seen some very mixed opinions on whether caregiving counts as clinical. I work in a nursing home alongside CNAs and we functionally do the same thing. I take vitals, I do peri care, catheter care (changing bags and emptying them), wound care, and I dress, feed, and bathe people. It has been a super rewarding experience that I have loved. I am taking a gap year and plan on becoming a CNA during that time which I know counts as clinical. Does caregiving count as clinical in this instance?
I also regularly volunteer at first aid/CPR tents. Would this count as medically-relatedness volunteering or non-medical? I have several other medical volunteering things so I am not relying on this for experience but I am wondering what to classify it as.
Thank you!
