Inside Health Education

Dr. Barbara Miller tells us about how the Texas A&M College of Dentistry offers a robust experience for future dentists in Dallas, TX. We also discuss upcoming changes to the curriculum at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry.

We learn about how applicants can stand out (both in a good and a bad way), and we tackle two myths: one about "gap years" and one about which major works best for dental students.

Dr. Miller refers to the wealth of information you can find at the Texas A&M College of Dentistry website: https://dentistry.tamhsc.edu/admissions/questions.html.

Mr. Paul Hermesmeyer, Director of JAMP, talks about how this program has helped Texas' economically disadvantaged population forge their way into medical school. We talk about the program's admission process, benefits, and goals for students.

Starting this year, JAMP has developed an Early Admission Track, which allows applicants the opportunity to apply as first-year freshmen, in addition to the regular admission track, which requires that applicants apply by their second year of college.

For full program criteria and contact information about JAMP, please visit www.texasjamp.org.
