Perhaps you have led a team at work, been a coach for a youth sports team, or were a student member on the American Medical Association board. You should always be prepared to show the interviewer you have a natural ability to lead others. Whether you have led a group of 500 or a team of 2, you must show the interviewer that you can handle the responsibility of being a leader, a mentor, and a future ophthalmologist.

"Yes, I see myself as a leader. Not only have I managed a team in two prior roles, but I also believe that leadership does not always equate to management. I am sure to lead at all times by providing the best model of enthusiasm, integrity, and work ethic. Currently, I display my leadership skills as a student member on the American Medical Association Board."
