Doctors should be trained to look at health holistically, and eliminating this program is shortsighted. OneHealth at the University of Washington is another interdisciplinary program that has benefitted countless communities in Washington and abroad. Don't sell California short!

The JMP is a unique medical education experience, one which I hope and expect will proliferate. It trains physicians to think outside of the box, an activity that must begin to happen much more frequently. JMP grads are trained to be thought leaders and advocates for change, critically important roles for doctors to play going forward...

JMP have been incredible collaborators to our African American Male Pipeline Project. Our students and staff rely on the partnerships that have branched out of JMP. It is imperative that these programs, that support so many students, that receive adequate funding.

The JMP is a fantastic educational program for students focused on medical careers that serve the most needy patients in our society. We need the JMP to continue to provide services for this population. Please continue to fund this vital program. California needs it!

It would be an atrocity to cut the JMP!

Of all the things to cut, it is not just to cut an amazing academic program in order to save money

The JMP is one of the most innovative and important medical training programs in the country. Our physician workforce can not afford to lose the talent that the JMP produces! Please save this program.

As a graduate and now Director of the Rural PRIME, I think it would be a big mistake to cut this program!

The JMP is one of a kind. It gave me the unique opportunity to work with my peers to teach ourselves the basics of medicine and inspired me to become a primary care doctor for urban underserved communities. Loss of the JMP is a loss for everyone

Please do not close this valuable, unique program. It is training real doctors to serve populations in need.

My wife's medical trajectory changed thanks to the JMP - she provides primary care to an ethnically diverse and economically challenged population largely because of her experiences at the program. The way she thinks is different because of her training there. Administration should be taking 40% in overhead costs at the very most.

The JMP is a highly unique program and needs to continue, for the health of the community, physicians, research and campus.

This program is the gold standard by which all other medical education is judged. Cutting it has negative implications far beyond the students trained in the program. Berkeley will seriously damage its reputation by cutting the JMP.

As a faculty member at Samuel Merritt University, I have been working on inter professional education with JMP faculty and students for the last two years. All are stellar. We have implemented much of their innovative problem based learning in or graduate nursing program. Dismantling or merging them with UCSF would be Profoundly misguided. The Berkeley program is on the vanguard of progressive pedagogy. If anything, find them better and help them expand this truly amazing program
