JAMP Scholars Reach New Milestones in MCAT Success, Boosting Medical School Match
Rates for 2025
The Entry Year 2023 (EY23) cohort of the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) has
set an inspiring benchmark for performance on the MCAT, a testament to the program’s
unwavering commitment to supporting economically disadvantaged students across Texas.
This achievement showcases not only the hard work of these scholars but also the effectiveness
of JAMP’s comprehensive support systems, specifically designed to empower students
on their journey to medical school.
JAMP’s tailored initiatives include targeted science enrichment, access to comprehensive
study materials, and personalized mentoring programs. These resources are strategically
developed to address the unique challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students,
ensuring they feel confident and well-prepared to tackle the MCAT and other academic
hurdles.
Dr. Cynthia Perry, JAMP Chair and a key advocate for JAMP’s mission, shared her thoughts
on the program's success:
"JAMP has been working hard to ensure every scholar meets their academic goals and
is fully prepared for success in medical school. We are thrilled to see overall improvements
in MCAT performance as a result of these efforts. Knowing that each scholar who matriculates
to medical school will positively impact thousands of future patients and help lessen
healthcare disparities in our state brings me great satisfaction."
The success of the EY 2023 cohort underscores JAMP’s role in shaping a new generation
of physicians—leaders who are not only academically equipped but also deeply connected
to the communities they aim to serve. By fostering resilience and determination among
its scholars, JAMP supports a healthcare workforce that reflects the scope and compassion
of Texas.
These outstanding scholars set a powerful example for future cohorts, proving that
with determination and the right support, the dream of a medical career is within
reach for all. JAMP’s mission to uplift economically disadvantaged students continues
to transform lives and shape a brighter future for healthcare in Texas, one scholar
at a time.
