The Junior Honors Medical Program (JHMP) is a combined (seven year) B.S./M.D. program offered by the University of Florida. State of Florida residents enrolled at U.F. or who are attending other institutions nationwide are welcome to apply. This program is intended for undergraduate students who have demonstrated superior scholastic ability and personal development during their first two academic years of college enrollment, and who are dedicated to pursuing medicine as a career. In addition, as the JHMP requires a year of  Honors Thesis research , students who are interested in the possibility of pursuing research in medical school and who are considering physician scientist track are encouraged to apply.

If accepted to this program, a student secures a place in medical school at the University of Florida, College of Medicine as long as the JHMP requirements are completed and academic standards are maintained.

Application to the JHMP is made during the spring of the student’s second year of college enrollment. Thirteen honor students are enrolled for the Fall 2009 semester while continuing expansion of the program is anticipated. The next application cycle begins in early January 2010.

 

We now have a video online of Dr. Colin Sumners giving an explanation of the program and going into depth about the finer aspects of the JHMP:
