UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program (JMP)

The UC Berkeley-UCSF Joint Medical Program (JMP) advances health equity and social justice by educating a workforce of diverse, antiracist physicians who practice at the intersection of medicine, public health and community health.

The JMP is a five-year graduate/medical degree program. Students spend their pre-clerkship years  at UC Berkeley engaging in a unique medical curriculum centered around student-led inquiry while simultaneously earning a master’s degree (MS) in the Health and Medical Sciences at Berkeley Public Health. After two and a half years, students move across the Bay to UCSF to finish their medical education and receive their medical doctorate (MD).

The UC Berkeley–UCSF Joint Medical Program (JMP) attracts students who are dedicated to improving the world’s health through scholarly self-directed yet collaborative inquiry. This is reflected in both the medical curriculum and master’s program.
