At a time when health disparities, a widening income gap, and California's diverse population need physicians with a Public Health view toward problem-solving and good policy decisions, we cannot eliminate a program that contributes so much! Janet wake up!

Closing the JMP would be a most irresponsible and, frankly, a downright foolish decision. At a time when the need for dedicated primary care physicians has never been more critical for California and for the nation, this innovative program has more than proven its value. Just reviewing the JMP'S history of success should convince decision-makers that it should be expanded, not abandoned. Please do the right thing -- the rational, sensible, and cost-effective thing -- and allow the JMP to continue fulfilling its valuable role in health care education.

As an UC professor emerita and long -time academic administrator, I believe there are less consequential budget cuts to be made, cuts that will not threaten the health of the people of California.

The JMP is the best medical education system that I have come across in my 16 years in the medical education sector. I've visited dozens of schools and spoken with thousands of faculty and students around the world, and the learning pedagogy used at the JMP is head and shoulders above what most folks are currently doing. As a member of the Berkeley community, I'm proud that this program is in my backyard. Folks from near (Kaiser) and far (Singapore) have specifically asked me about this program, and have heard of its phenomenal success. Shutting it down would be a serious mistake.

This program puts San Francisco way ahead of other programs in the states. It is also a much more efficient use of resources.

Would be a huge loss to our profession. I owe the JMP everything for my career in medicine. It's flabbergasting this is even on the table.

The JMP is a fantastic program. I have worked with medical schools across the country and I'm always impressed with both the students and faculty in this program. It should serve as a model for other medical programs around the country and should be given all the funding it needs and then some. There are plenty of other cuts that should be made elsewhere before even thinking about reducing the budget for the JMP.

This is a highly acclaimed and innovative program that should not be at risk of closure. The physicians that receive their education through the JMP are outstanding clinicians, health care researchers and policy makers. The UCB needs to shift the funding back to the JMP so this program can continue to educate the physicians that are needed to address the critical health care needs of our communities.
