Table 1 List of the open-ended questions that were asked of the 35 medical student informants leaders

◦ Why did you get involved with Peer Advising and/or the Colleges program?

◦ What benefits do you perceive related to your taking on a committed role within the Colleges program? (How has it helped you or how do you think that it may help you in the future?)

◦ What are the negatives or the drawbacks related to your taking on a committed role within the Colleges program?

◦ Considering other peers who have not gotten involved in a leadership position in Peer Advising and/or the Colleges program, why do you think they have not done so?

◦ If the Colleges or other programs wanted to draw in students to be actively engaged and take on committed roles, how do you think that this could be accomplished most effectively?
