You Spoke, We Listened! TMDSAS Account Registration Gets an Upgrade
Over the past 12 years, Texas has experienced an average annual population growth of 1.5%. With this ongoing increase in Texans, we are committed to enhancing the efficiency, speed, and user-friendliness of the TMDSAS and JAMP application service systems. This effort aims to expand the applicant pool for Texas healthcare positions.
This year, there has been a notable 6% increase in TMDSAS applicants from May to June compared to the previous year. To accommodate this growing applicant pool, TXHES has streamlined the new user account registration process into a straightforward three-step procedure using cutting-edge web development technologies. For returning applicants, we have implemented rapid and user-friendly methods to reset forgotten passwords, offering automated self-service options via email or a two-factor authentication service.
Our focus on operational efficiencies, adoption of advanced technologies, and response to the rising demand for healthcare professionals in Texas has resulted in a significantly improved user experience and a marked increase in account registrations this year. We remain committed to continuous improvement, ensuring a seamless application process for our future healthcare professionals to better serve Texas' healthcare needs.
