Junior Honors Medical Program: Program Description
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 (sophomore) enrollment. While this program is at present limited to 12 students per year, expansion of the program is planned over the next two years.
