I am about to apply to med school, I was wondering if there is a
christian physicians organization and how to sign up for it.
sarajharrelson --
There is indeed a national nondenominational Christian physicians'
organization, and it invites student memberships. Here is a link to
its website:
Christian Medical Association
http://www.cmdahome.org/?BISKIT=87113223
Since you are specifically interested in a student membership, here
for your convenient reference is what that the organization has to say
to the student community:
"STUDENT COMMUNITY
Student ministries are a primary focus of CMDA. We want to help you
grow spiritually throughout your years of medical or dental education,
and train you for effective leadership in your profession. Now is the
time to learn how to integrate your faith into your future practice.
CMDA's Student Community offers an online area for students to have
access to resources specific for them, as well as links to areas of
our site that we feel are most valuable for academic, personal, and
spiritual growth. Browse the links below for more information on areas
of our ministry that are of interest.
"Free Student Membership
Students now have the option of membership at no charge! You will
receive our award-winning magazine, Today's Christian Doctor, in PDF
format and our audio digest, Christian Doctor's Digest, as an MP3
file. Or you may also choose to join for only $26 a year and receive
the hard copies by regular mail. Register Now..."

The Assoaciation's website is very comprehensive and user-friendly,
and I am sure that you will benefit from spending some time reviewing
it in detail.
Additional Information:
While I believe that you will be happy with the information I have
provided about a preeminent association for Christian physicians, I am
sure that you will want to know more about other online resources that
relate to the subject. For example, here is a site that provides a
referral service to people seeking a Christian physician:
Christianphysicians.org
http://www.rasalam.com/www.christianphysicians.org/
There are other interesting sites that relate to your special
interest, such as this one that offers some "Medical Quotations" of
special interest to Christian doctors:
The Doctors' Page: Medical Quotations (about 7/8 down the page)
http://www.doctorspage.net/quotes.asp

I found this information using the following simple Google Search.
You might it useful to run this search yourself and look over the
higher-ranking results:

I am confident that this is the information you are seeking. I
anything is unclear, please ask for clarification before rating the
answer. And good luck on your medical education.
