The JMP is a unique program that produces physicians who make a difference in the world. We need this program now more than ever.

The JMP has continued to produce world class physicians with a broad, population health lens and outstanding skills on the individual through the societal levels. Ending this unique program would be a major loss to UC, the state and well beyond

UC Berkeley gets $3.2 million a year for the Joint Medical Program, but gives them only $1.3 million? Where's the rest of the dough? That's like getting money for child support and spending less than half of it on your kid, leaving them to die. NOT GOOD. At this program, I learned to think critically, solve problems/work outside-of-the-box, treat patients as WHOLE PEOPLE: the mind-body-family-culture connections. Every patient is a person with a story. JMP taught us this YEARS before this became a popular notion. JMP faculty taught me the ART of being a doctor/healer. Every day I use the tools given to me by JMP. We should support innovation and compassion, not kill it.

Without the incredible education I received from the JMP I would not be where I am today - graduating my OB/Gyn residency at a top 3 program and heading to Reproductive Endocrinology/Infertility Fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. Don't let this happen!

It would be a shame to allow this fantastic program to close. I would support allocating appropriate funds to keep it going!

The Joint Medical Program is unique and created the foundation of my career today as a health system transformer. I cannot think of another program that would have served me as well.

California, and our nation, needs more physicians like those trained by the JMP...physicians who work for social justice, who treat their patients with respect, dignity and compassion, and who are educated about the health in a holistic sense, beyond simply the narrow confines of medicine. Cutting the JMP would not only further our state's physician shortage, but it would take away innovative, caring and well-rounded physicians that our state so desperately needs.

The JMP is a wonderful program and an alternate way of learning. My daughter graduated from this program and the care and guidance that she got from here was amazing. The small class size gave them a chance to get to know each other really well, support each other and make friends that will last a lifetime. I really hope that this program continues to be funded.

As a UCSF student and former safety-net health care worker, I know the JMP is an important piece of strengthening California's primary care workforce.

The Joint Medical Program serves as a model for medical education in the 21st century. It is known for training health professionals who care for underserved Californians in need of compassionate healthcare. While all medical schools train physicians to care for individual patients, the JMP fosters skills that enable graduates to work with communities, healthcare systems, policymakers, and advocates to promote health and wellness across the lifespan. In a time of critical shortage of providers and the imperative to meet healthcare's Triple Aim (better patient experience, better health outcomes, and lower cost), the JMP is a program that should be expanded not cut. Please provide the support to continue and grow this program.
