TXHES Looks Ahead to TAAHP Conference 2026
TXHES looks ahead to the TAAHP Conference 2026, outlining its priorities for collaboration, advising innovation, and a statewide conversation on improving the health professions admissions cycle.

Since its inception in 2003, the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) has been a vital force in training Texas’s future physicians, guiding over 700 students toward successful medical careers. Now, JAMP is collaborating with director Mario Mattei to spotlight the program’s profound impact and inspire the next wave of medical talent.
Mario Mattei, celebrated for his ability to craft compelling narratives, is channeling his expertise into a new video campaign for JAMP. This partnership is driven by a shared commitment to showcasing how JAMP transforms lives. Mattei’s role is to vividly capture and convey the real stories of JAMP scholars—highlighting their personal journeys and the program’s role in preparing them to address Texas’s urgent need for more physicians.
This new video will be an invaluable resource for pre-health advisors, offering a dynamic tool to illustrate the direct impact of JAMP. Mario Mattei’s expertise in storytelling will help create an inspiring and informative narrative, showing how JAMP graduates are equipped to meet the healthcare challenges in Texas.
By bringing JAMP’s success stories to life, this project will not only engage and
motivate potential students but also empower advisors to effectively communicate the
program’s significance and encourage future physicians to benefit from JAMP’s unique
opportunities.
