<p>Hello,</p>
<p>For medical school it is required that students have some form of direct patient interaction. I am thinking of volunteering at NY Methodist Hospital as a Health Literacy Volunteer, but I am not sure if this volunteer position counts as patient interaction. Here is a description of the volunteer position:</p>
<p>“Health Literacy volunteers work individually or in pairs to present health-related information in the waiting rooms of Outpatient Pediatrics, Outpatient Adult Medical, the Women’s Clinic and Infusion Center. Volunteers present to a group of patients as well as provide one-on-one consultations with waiting patients.”</p>
<p>Would medical school admissions count this volunteer position as direct patient exposure or as volunteer service?</p>
