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.
