Leadership?

I'm going into my senior year and I don't really have any leadership experience. Any advice? (I feel like it's too late to get involved in student clubs).

Would something like this count as leadership experience?

Try to think outside the box. I have never been in the leadership of an organization or club, but I’ve been a TA and a teacher/tutor. I have also trained people in previous jobs. Those are pseudo leadership experiences. Have you ever done anything like that?

Not sure if it'll work for me but I have multiple tutoring/teaching experiences and I've been highlighting how I'm a leader in those situations on my applications. I think either way doing some tutoring, especially if it's for underprivileged youth, would probably be worth your time.

A small part of the listed duties would be looked upon as the type of peer leadership that adcomms are looking for, namely the training of new volunteers. If you were to provide ongoing oversight and responsibility for new members' activities, that would qualify also, but they don't mention that. If you chaired a subcommittee that would qualify, too.

They require a significant unpaid time commitment. Do you have time for that?

Why not look for a leadership opportunity at the nonmedical community service site where you volunteer now? Or train new members of your lab or clinical volunteer department? Or organize your friends into a service activity that would benefit the local area, like cleanup, collecting items for a (men's, women's, or animal) shelter or food pantry?
