Empowering Scholars Through Writing, Research, and Financial Wellness: Enhancements
to the JAMP Summer 2025 Internship Program
The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) is proud to announce exciting enhancements
to the 2025 Summer Internship Program curriculum, designed to meet the evolving academic,
professional, and personal needs of our scholars. These meaningful additions—approved
by the JAMP Council and made possible through funding from the Texas Legislature—represent
a bold step forward in preparing future physicians to thrive in and beyond medical
school.
For over two decades, JAMP has been a beacon of opportunity for high-achieving, underserved
students across Texas. This summer, the program deepens its commitment to scholar
development by introducing three transformative elements:
Academic and Professional Writing
Clear and effective communication is foundational to success in medicine. To strengthen
this essential skill set, scholars will participate in structured writing workshops
focused on academic writing, personal narratives, and professional communication.
These sessions are tailored to support both immediate goals—such as secondary applications—and
long-term growth as future medical professionals.
Texas Health Disparities Research Project
A new research engagement component will introduce scholars to the process of conducting
research, a critical skill for medical school and residency. Through guided sessions
and mentorship, scholars will explore how to formulate questions, analyze data, and
communicate findings—all through the lens of Texas health disparities. This experience
is designed to build both confidence and competence in research practices while deepening
their understanding of the communities they aspire to serve.
Financial Wellness for Future Physicians
JAMP is launching a new curriculum component to equip scholars with the tools to navigate
the financial realities of higher education and a future career in medicine. Topics
will include budgeting, debt literacy, and long-term financial planning—empowering
scholars to make informed decisions with confidence.
These enhancements reflect JAMP’s mission to provide not only access to medical education,
but also holistic support that prepares scholars to succeed as leaders, changemakers,
and compassionate physicians in the communities they serve.
The JAMP Administration is deeply grateful to the Texas Legislature for their continued
investment in the future of our state’s healthcare workforce, and to the JAMP Council
for championing initiatives that make this vision a reality.
Stay tuned as we share highlights from this summer’s programs and the impact of these
new offerings on our incredible scholars.
