<p>I'm debating between two volunteer organizations/opportunities, I'd like anyone's input!</p>
<ol>
<li>APA Health CARE: I heard about this organization through a friend who graduated from UCLA and it seems like a great volunteer and clinical experience. You get to go volunteer at health fairs and work alongside actual UCLA faculty physicians and med students, and it seems like the requirements for members aren't bad, and application seems simple too, for the quality of experience that I think I can get out of it.</li>
</ol>
<p>Website is <a href="http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/apahealthcare/home.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/apahealthcare/home.html</a>
if anyone would look at it and let me know what they think, in terms how worth my time it'd be.</p>
<ol>
<li>MAPS: I don't like what the roles of the students are in this organization, but the reason why I am still thinking about it is because it's at the UCLA hospital. But I haven't heard anything good about the organization (and doesn't even seem like clinical experience to me). </li>
</ol>
<p>I've considered other options too, but with the time commitment that I can afford to make (mostly weekends), these options seemed best.</p>
<p>So I guess it just comes down to the dilemma of hospital volunteering vs. non-hospital volunteering. But APA Health CARE group looks like it gives you the patient interaction? And my friends had only good things to say about it. But I am worried since it's not really work in a hospital. Advice please!</p>
