Talk about a time you showed initiative by taking the lead in a situation during medical school. Why did you take action as the leader, and what was the outcome?

"Growing up and into my college years, I was a natural leader to my peers. This is evident in my years as a team captain in the sports world. During my medical school training, I led the urology student interest group and the health literacy initiative group at my medical school. The HLI group was significant because I firmly believe in education about current issues in health. As a leader of these groups, I organized monthly meetings, bi-weekly communications, and subcommittees for leading projects throughout the year."

Carefully describe a situation during your medical school training where you saw a chance to lead and took advantage of it. Talk about the success of the moment and your biggest takeaway. You'll want to highlight your ability to communicate effectively and lead others as you answer this question.
