About the author: The Texas Health Education Service amplifies TMDSAS and JAMP’s missions to serve students, collegiate advisors, and professional schools in Texas by providing students with accurate educational resources to enhance their preparation for a career in the health professions, and supporting efforts by advisors and professional schools to reach students and enrich the applicant pool.
On September 8, 2026, the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) launched the 2026 Accepted Applicant Experience Survey, inviting accepted applicants to provide feedback regarding their experiences from application to admission.
JAMP is entering a new chapter of leadership while staying true to its mission of creating opportunities for talented Texas students pursuing medicine. This year’s Council transition celebrates longtime leaders, welcomes new voices, and brings the story full circle as a former JAMP Scholar steps into the role of Chair-Elect.
JAMP is expanding its support for scholars with two new initiatives designed to meet needs both inside and outside the classroom. An emergency fund will help scholars facing unexpected financial challenges, while new research funding will create more opportunities for students to explore their interests, gain experience, and prepare for their future in medicine.
