The Future of Medicine is YOU!
Crossroads to Medicine is an undergraduate-led movement focused on inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals through mentorship, connection, and real stories that demonstrate there is no single path to medicine.
Why CTM?
Crossroads to Medicine exists to bridge that gap by connecting students with physicians, nurses, PAs, researchers, and mentors who share honest stories, practical guidance, and real experiences.
Our mission is to create a space where students feel inspired rather than discouraged and motivated to pursue healthcare with purpose.
The future of healthcare doesn’t begin in medical school.
It begins with experience and inspiration.
-
CTM began as a passion project after our team noticed how many undergraduate students viewed the journey to medicine as unattainable
In today’s culture, social media often portrays medicine as a perfectly linear path one built on constant perfection. Yet, through conversations with physicians and healthcare professionals, we discovered the exact opposite to be true
Crossroads to Medicine was created to challenge the idea that there is only one “right” way to pursue medicine.
-
We believe the best way to inspire future healthcare professionals is through real stories, real mentorship, and real connection.
Crossroads to Medicine creates spaces where students can engage directly with physicians, nurses, PAs, researchers, and healthcare leaders through conferences, outreach, interviews, and mentorship opportunities.
Our goal is simple: make medicine feel possible, accessible, and human.

The U.S. could face a physician shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036. Students pursuing healthcare careers often feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure if they belong. That’s where CTM comes in!
