If I volunteer here, will med schools care?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>There is a center that provides developmental and rehabilitation services to adults with mental and physical disabilities. It is not really a hospital, but they do provide nursing with basic medical procedures as well. There is also physical therapy and behavior management for these patients. I will be helping with all of these aspects of the center. Would this count toward volunteering hours for a pre-med, and please don't lecture me about how you shouldn't care about whether it counts or not, I want to help people, but I also want to be able to get into medical school so certain precautions must be taken.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>while im by no means an expert on what medical schools consider or don’t consider for volunteering, this seems 100% to me a “clinical” volunteering experience. perhaps not a hospital, but i don’t know that it must necessarily be a hospital as much as just patient contact</p>

<p>If you want to do it you should do it, if you have some passion behind it they will consider it clinical experience.</p>
