Our Journey

An Evolution in Innovative Education

Crossroads Education Institute, as it is known today was conceptualized in 2004 as the Institute for Therapy Advancement.

In 2006 the Institute evolved into Crossroads Institute, and later became Crossroads.

The need for further medical education initiatives resulted in the development of an umbrella organization, Campbell Education Institute, in 2012

In 2016, The Crossroads Institute and Campbell Educational Institute merged to form the Crossroads Education Institute

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to provide sub Saharan Africa and Mauritian healthcare professionals with the opportunity to access high quality unbiased continuing medical education programs to advance the standard of holistic patient care in Interventional Cardiology, Endovascular Surgery, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Advanced Wound Management. To date, Crossroads Programs have catered to the educational needs of consultants, fellows, allied professionals and healthcare funders.
Programs offered by the Crossroads Education Institute are free of charge and this is made possible through an unrestricted medical education grant from Baroque Medical (Pty) Ltd with the support of its international partners, Abbott Vascular International BVBA and Integra Life Sciences.
A scientific steering committee is responsible for the development of each program to ensure the content remains unbiased and promotes the gold standard of patient care. Each program is tailored to meet the specific needs of the delegates. Facilitators and presenters are selected based on their knowledge, skills, experience and their ability to convey key messages to their audience.
