I cannot believe that a cost effectiveness program would undermine the authority of an educational program. Moreover the cost effectiveness can be at best questionable depending on what your viewpoint is.

Can't imagine a great program like this no longer existing, to say the least.

Not the JMP! The JMP is an incredible program that produces passionate, service-oriented physicians, and their unique program is one that deserves to be expanded, NOT cut. As a volunteer at Suitcase Clinic, I know that JMP students do so much for the Berkeley community and are valuable members of UCB and UCSF.

Investing in future physician-researchers who understand the complex link between health in the clinic and public health is vital in improving healthcare for Californians. Money invested now will save money--and more importantly lives--later.

The JMP is a shining star of innovation in medical education and trains a higher percentage of future primary care doctors than other medical schools.

The JMP puts into action the innovation that will change our healthcare system by training doctors who are holistic, collaborative, creative, and problem solvers! I cant imagine having had a more excellent medical training experience.

JMP has been an integral part of developing and training the best and brightest of medical students to become future leaders and physician scientists, serving vulnerable populations that are at the highest risk for social, economical and health disparities., Loss of the program would be detrimental to the community at large.

In innumerable ways, the JMP has always been way ahead of the curve in medical education, and I cannot imagine having become a doctor in an environment more rigorous, collaborative, creative, practical, or inspiring.

The JMP was my gateway into my medical career, integrating science and community. I started in 1978, did my residency in family medicine at San Francisco General Hospital, worked in a rural health clinic in Lassen County for three years, spent 16 years working in community health centers, overlapping with my 17 years as a local public health officer. Bridging medicine, public health, and health policy started in the JMP and enabled my career in community medicine and public health. I don't know of any other medical training that would have better prepared me. The program should be sustained and replicated, not closed.

The JMP students I know are the most compassionate, driven, and inspiring individuals. Whether in the classroom or clinic setting, they bring a fresh and hopeful perspective that continuously reminds me why I want to go into healthcare. I cannot thank them enough.

The JMP is essential to creating the kind of physicians we need to help think of innovative ways to fix our faulty medical system. without the community and joint teaching that is fostered through the JMP I don't think I would have made it through medical school!

I am thankful everyday to have had the opportunity to attend the JMP. It is a remarkable institution that trains excellent, humanistic physicians to care for the people of our state and of our world with expertise and compassion. I'm signing this petition so that future generations of physicians also have this amazing opportunity.

As a social work student, JMPers are the next generation, forward thinking MDs that I want to collaborate with. Save team based care. Save the JMP!
