Joint Admission Medical Program

What Joint Admission Medical Program does

Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) is a Texas state-funded workforce pipeline program established by the Texas Legislature in 2001 through Senate Bill 940 of the 77th Texas Legislature. Administered through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board and operated by Texas Health Education Service, JAMP supports economically disadvantaged Texas residents pursuing careers as physicians through a multi-phase intervention spanning undergraduate education, MCAT preparation, summer internships, and guaranteed admission to one of 14 participating Texas medical schools. The program serves approximately 100 scholars per cohort and requires a minimum 3.25 overall and BCPM GPA, a Pell Grant-eligible or SAI Range -1500 to 7000 financial profile, and a minimum MCAT score of 502 for medical school matriculation.

JAMP's operational backbone consists of an online application portal (apply.texasjamp.org), a Canvas-based Learning Management System for current scholars, and integration with the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) for the medical school match process. Core services include two mandatory summer internships at participating medical schools (Summer I after sophomore year and Summer II after junior year), a multi-phase MCAT preparation program delivered in partnership with Jack Westin and Kaplan (300+ hours of live online content), financial scholarships and stipends, clinical preceptorships, and mentorship from JAMP Faculty Directors at 68 partner undergraduate institutions. Outreach extensions include Pre-JAMP Camps for rising high school seniors and Medical School Symposia hosted by participating institutions.

The program operates as a non-commercial state government entity funded by the Texas Legislature, with no fees charged to participants and no revenue generation. It is governed by the JAMP Council, comprised of Admissions and Student Affairs Deans from the 14 participating Texas medical schools, which oversees selection and matching. The 16-person administrative staff, led by Executive Director Matthew Meeks, Ed.D. and Director of JAMP and Strategic Initiatives Nina Gonzalez, Ed.D., manages a closed-loop ecosystem in which participating medical schools are statutorily required to reserve 10% of entering class seats for qualified JAMP participants.
