I lived in California and received some of the best health care in my life. I moved to a rural area in Washington and realized how lucky I was. We need more doctors, not less. Please do not close this program.

This program encouraged me to pursue medicine, and continue to help the underserved and homeless populations due to its mentorship and collaboration with the Suitcase Clinic. Some of the most passionate and caring individuals from the health care field I have met have come through this program!

I'm a parent of a JMP graduate. The JMPs innovative approach to medical education should be expanded-not cut-at this time when California and the nation face a looming shortage of community oriented primary care physicians.

Doesn't anybody care about the future. Why is this program targeted over others. The math alone shows the need for this program.

Short-sightedness has far-far reaching effects. Be wise ,compassionate, and long-term thinking: don't shut down a program that turns out caring PCPs. We need more of these, not less.

In a society where it's become impossible to actually *find* a PRIMARY Healthcare Provider, UC Berkeley is providing a population of doctors who *Get It* when it comes to basic health care needs of the total population. In what Universe would cutting this program be a smart move? Cut back on the more "traditional" medical programs in the state (Hell, in the NATION!) to ENSURE that UC Berkeley can continue to provide doctors who can really make a difference.

Berkeley in need of funds to keep the public health program degree programs. This degree program could attract and seek more applications for its small program from the global community. This public health programs education allows graduates opportunity to help meet our growing population adjustments during the current migration of workforces to meet this migratory demand needs.

I have known several wonderful physicians who have graduated from this unique program. Given the dire need of producing highly qualified primary care physicians in our community, it would be terrible to lose a program like this. Please continue to fund the JMP for future generations.

My daughter graduated from the JMP program with a 1st class education, fully prepared for a successful residency program at Stanford. The camaraderie among her classmates is unparalleled and they have established close friendships that will last a lifetime. This program is important and should be continued for future medical students.

This program teaches future physicians to think and reason through the best learning method - problem based learning, we should be expanding this program not cutting it!

I am a 1976 graduate of the program in Genetic Counseling. I was the first person practicing at Children's Hospital, Oakland, and one of the first Genetic Counselors in the Bay Area The program was invaluable not only in setting the highest professional standards, but also promoting and enhancing a new approach to Medical Care that enriched the lives of both patients and medical professionals. It would be a great loss if this program were cancelled.

This program has produced some of the most thoughtful physician leaders and change makers in medicine and public health. A budget cut to this program would be a great loss for California and the SF Bay Area

The State needs this program to continue. Could special fundraising help it to survive?
