English term or phrase: sentinel moment
"Before you read this article, close your eyes and reflect on medical school and that sentinel moment when you decided to pursue a career in anesthesiology."

This is the intro of an editorial for a medical journal I am translating; I think it might be something like 'moment charnière' but have never heard the phrase in English and cannot find a definition of it.
