JAMP and OnlineMedEd Join Forces to Support Scholars' Transition into Medical School
The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) is excited to announce a strategic partnership with OnlineMedEd, a leading online medical education platform based out of Austin, TX. This collaboration represents a significant expansion of JAMP’s rich network of support for economically disadvantaged Texans pursuing a career in medicine, further bridging the gap to help ensure their success on this challenging journey.
JAMP's Commitment to Student Success
JAMP has long been a lifeline for students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with the resources and opportunities needed to pursue a career in healthcare. Through its partnership with OnlineMedEd, JAMP is not only strengthening its existing support system to help students gain admission to medical school but is also introducing a crucial focus on ensuring their success during the pivotal first two years of medical education. This enhanced approach underscores JAMP’s commitment to guiding students from underserved communities through every stage of their journey to becoming healthcare professionals.
OnlineMedEd
OnlineMedEd, driven by the mission to make medical education universally accessible, provides a suite of innovative learning tools designed to help students grasp complex medical concepts. Through this partnership, JAMP students will gain access to these valuable resources, including video lectures, clinical cases, and assessment tools, giving them a head start by previewing the critical material they'll encounter in the first few months of medical school. “OnlineMedEd has proven that it is successful in helping students through the medical school curriculum. With this collaboration, we aim to bridge the gap to ensure JAMP students are not only admitted to medical school but are also well-prepared to excel from the very beginning,” said Dr. Matthew Meeks, Texas Health Education Service Executive Director.
“OnlineMedEd is proud to partner with the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) to make medical education more accessible and effective for all students,” said Doug Hughes, CEO of OnlineMedEd. “JAMP’s commitment to supporting ALL qualified students and breaking down structural barriers in medical education aligns perfectly with OnlineMedEd’s mission of making high-quality medical education accessible to all. JAMP’s work isn’t just important, it’s mission critical.”
JAMP and OnlineMedEd look forward to the positive outcomes of this collaboration, including improved medical school preparedness, increased student confidence, and ultimately, more students in medical practice in communities across Texas.
