As someone who went to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders, it was a great experience and it's a certification that I put on my resume. I'm not sure how it affects college decisions but hopefully it helps, we'll see.
Pay to play programs aren't worth it because they're so expensive. The programs aren't competitive at all and almost anybody can pay to be in it. Due to this, the program won't impress colleges at all. If you do it, kudos to you, you now have some experience. However, I recommend not to go unless you get a scholarship from it because it won't impress colleges or look that good on a resume. I think it would be considered a Tier 3 extracurricular. Find something else to impress them.
