I think taking a leadership course is an excellent idea. The students in my leadership course offered through the office of campus involvement taught you excellent communication as well as organizational skills. The other students along with myself went on to be Presidents of the largest organizations on campus... SGA, Intrafraternity council, Panhallenic and AED. Besides teaching great skills, the networking with other organizational leaders was awesome not to mention the professional relationships. Lots of memebers of the Admin also spoke to us and we became a source of reference for them.
Anyway, it looks good in interviews too becasue you can say that you have the organizational know how (And I am not talking about bs that you think you learned from the Apprentice). and that you were an active member of the campus community. You have to have some type of real training when managing an organization with 150 students and having an E-board with 10 people on it and 2 advisors like I did and send 48 of them to an all expenses paid Convention.
Final point, I wouldn't really sign up for any of the ROTC leadership course because it is really a front to get you to sign up for the Armed Forces (not that it is wrong)...as far as leadersip courses helping you in the future...as a physician you will be the head of a team.
