TXHES Expands Early Engagement at LaGrone Academy
TXHES expands early engagement through LaGrone Academy, introducing Texas students to health professions pathways.
16 - Meet Mr. Paul Hermesmeyer from the Joint Admission Medical Program
Mr. Paul Hermesmeyer, Director of JAMP, talks about how this program has helped Texas' economically disadvantaged population forge their way into medical school. We talk about the program's admission process, benefits, and goals for students.
Starting this year, JAMP has developed an Early Admission Track, which allows applicants the opportunity to apply as first-year freshmen, in addition to the regular admission track, which requires that applicants apply by their second year of college.
For full program criteria and contact information about JAMP, please visit www.texasjamp.org.
Join our online communities to receive early access to the podcasts, ask questions and receive information directly from TMDSAS, professional schools and advisors.
- The TMDSAS Hub is open to all applicants in the EY2019/2020 cycle.
- The TMDSAS Non-Traditional Applicants group is open to all applicants who identify themselves as non-traditional and would like to connect with other applicants.
