Crossroads is a student advocacy organization promoting the health and well being of all medical students. The membership consists of elected representatives from each class and several physicians at large. Crossroads members recognize the unique stresses that health professionals confront, as well as the increased risk of the development of emotional difficulties and/or dependencies in response to those stresses. It is their goal to provide a forum in which to identify and diffuse stress issues, and to offer confidential support to all students, especially those in danger of impairment, and to educate peers on recognition of these issues and avenues of self-help. Crossroads maintains a resource base of community professionals willing to counsel students.
