Hi BBB,

Again a question for you.

I worked in two pvt clinics. First one is a free medical clinic for the underserved where i took history and did physical exam and discussed that with the attending physician. Second place is a pvt physicians office where i took history performed physical and the physician did discuss the cases with me at length. They dint pay me.

Both the Physicians are writing exactly that(history, physical and case discussions) in the LOR, without assigning it as externship or observership. Both are FORMER professors in a big name uni in my city. Once i inquired them abt HIPAA Rules and issues, they told me whatever i do under their supervision is perfectly fine/legal.

Now how should i mention all this in my CAF. Under work experience or voluntary? Do i have to assign that experience a name like externship or observership? Does it even matter?

Thank you.

Either place - the important thing is that all your experiences are listed. After all does it say "Work for pay Experience?"
