Ducky Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have two different experiences that I would like to include on my application, but I don't know where to put them. They are both related to health education--I am a volunteer group leader for a local Galloway group (marathon training group), and I am the volunteer wellness coordinator for my fellow employees at the lab where I work (our committee provides nutrition/fitness/health issues education). These are not totally unrelated to healthcare, otherwise I could put it under community service. But it's not "patient care" either, in the strictest sense. I am regularly asked and offering advice, however. Primarily on nutrition and fitness issues. I am a certified Health Fitness Specialist with ACSM, so it's educated advice, by the way. Does it make a difference if I mention that I am overwhelmed with thousands of hours of "other healthcare experience" while having almost zero direct patient care experience?

mackjacks Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Could you split it between community service and other healthcare experience? Estimate how much of your volunteer hours there count as other HCE and how many are just community service. I did this with some volunteering I did for the Red Cross on CASPA.
