NO.
I recommend shadowing a doctor you know from your community.
All of this "manufactured" resume building is a croc.
She should focus on making good grades and being herself. I knew people that took "music appreciation" just so they could hobnob with some admissions official.
Be yourself. Anything else is too difficult.
I am an M.D. and think the admissions process needs to get rid of some of the silliness.

Skip the pre-professional club and tell her to join clubs that she is actually interested in. Med schools are all about well-rounded applicants these days and many pre-meds lack significant extracurriculars outside of pre-med/science.
I Kige this. A friend's two kids are both in med school now. One played college soccer and the other was a nationally recognized classical saxophone player. Helped them out bigtime in the admissions process.
