Research and Healthcare Experience Question

[MaryFred]

If my research projects involved taking various anthropometric measurements such as blood pressure, body fat percent, VO2 max, maximum strength and  power, etc.,  Can it be considered healthcare experience, patient care or is it just research?

Patient Care Experience

Experiences in which you are directly responsible for a patient’s care; for example: prescribing medication, performing procedures, directing a course of treatment, working on patients as an active nurse or EMT, etc.

 

Health Care Experience

Both paid and unpaid work in the health or a health-related field where you are not directly responsible for a patient’s care; for example, filling prescriptions, performing clerical work, delivering patient food, cleaning patient rooms, working as a scribe or hospital volunteer, etc.

 

Employment

Paid work done outside of the health care field; for example: a retail or restaurant job.

 

Shadowing

Time spent officially following and observing a health care professional at work, preferably a physician assistant.

 

Research

Research projects completed preferably in addition to or outside of regular classroom work.

 

Volunteer

Volunteer work done outside of the health care field; for example, working for Habitat for Humanity, tutoring students, participating in or working for a fundraiser walk or blood drive, etc.

 

 

Definitely not PCE, I don't think it can be counted as HCE either. I would assume that it would go under research.
