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.
