Search for Applicants
An applicant search can be performed in two ways.

1. Click on the [Search] link from the main menu. You can find applicants by searching on multiple fields; a few examples are listed below. This search is cumulative, meaning that the more fields that are used in the search, the more narrow the search result will be.   Selecting the Entry Year is necessary to find current EY2012 applicants.  Not selecting the Entry Year will compile a complete list of your institution’s applicants.  

• Last Name (including Other Last Name)
• First Name (including Other First Name)
• JAMP ID
• Email
• Gender
• Phone
• Application Status
• Entry Year  (this is important if you are searching for current JAMP participants)

Important Note:
Not entering a name, JAMP ID or selecting any search field criteria and clicking on the [Find] button will display all applicants from your school, current and past. Search results display the JAMP ID, Entry Year, last name, first name, various dates, JAMP Status, Standing and student’s email address.

The JAMP ID is a link to go directly to view the application for the selected applicant. These results may be exported to Excel by clicking on the link above, [Export to Excel].

The primary goal of this video is to vividly capture and convey the real stories of JAMP scholars, highlighting their personal journeys and the program’s crucial role in preparing them to meet Texas’s urgent need for more physicians. This dynamic resource will be invaluable for pre-health advisors, teachers, guidance counselors, faculty directors, and others, as it illustrates the direct impact of JAMP on interested applicants and stakeholders.

We aim to create an inspiring and informative narrative that showcases how JAMP graduates are equipped to tackle the healthcare challenges facing Texas. By bringing JAMP’s success stories to life, this project not only engages and motivates potential students but also empowers advisors to communicate the program’s significance effectively, encouraging future physicians to take advantage of JAMP’s unique opportunities.
