UNT Joint Admission Medical Program

What is JAMP?

The Joint Admission Medical Program, JAMP, is a Texas state-wide program that helps students who are from an underserved or low socio-economic background to become physicians. Students who are selected to become JAMP Scholars and maintain all eligibility requirements will be interviewed by each Texas medical school who participates in JAMP. Students then will be offered direct admission to one of the medical schools.
