UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program

JMP student in action in Washington DC last month! Some highlights: meetings with Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra and Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, a tour of the African American History and Culture Museum, and opportunities to share perspectives on health care policy during visits to the offices of our representatives in Congress. This trip illustrated how powerful physicians are in advancing health equity at a policy level, and we saw many examples of how practicing physicians can integrate that into their career paths.

Happy belated Match Day to our wonderful JMP5s! Congrats to our graduates as they head off to their next adventures!
