Background The Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) is a special program created by the Texas Legislature to support and encourage highly qualified, economically disadvantaged Texas resident students pursuing a medical education. Funded through the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, JAMP is a unique partnership between all nine Texas medical schools and sixty-seven public and private four-year undergraduate institutions. At the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), Dr. Alan Vince serves as the JAMP Faculty Director. In 2017, Dr. Vince was awarded $14,544.00 (Exhibit A) for an initial JAMP distribution and he was later awarded another $18,000.00 (Exhibit B) as a supplement.

Objective and Scope The audit objective is to provide assurance that UTSA complies with the JAMP Expenditure Guidelines and the JAMP Agreement requirements. The audit included a review of the financial activity for the period of September 1, 2016 through August 31, 2017. See attached initial and supplemental FY 2017 expenditure reports for details. This audit is required on a rotational basis by the JAMP Council Agreement.
