[2] The JMP curriculum is constructed around three distinct, interconnected branches of learning and each of which is built around themes of antiracism and change making.
And finally, the abundant opportunities available at UC Berkeley provide JMP students to learn preclinical medicine grounded in antiracism and social justice.
The master's in science (MS) curriculum supports the JMP's vision to develop antiracist physicians and public health changemakers by adding a framework of collaborative practice, systems thinking and critical inquiry to the traditional medical education.
This framework affords students the intellectual, practical, and humanistic skills to promote and lead change processes aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
Coursework is designed to integrate with a wide variety of graduate classes that explore the structures and systems that affect health and health care including Critical Race Theory, Structural Competency, Motivational Interviewing, Systems Improvement and other clinically relevant studies through in-depth elective graduate classes offered by any department at UC Berkeley.
