General Summary:

The Johns Hopkins Underrepresented in Medical Professions (JUMP) program was established in 2011 as a pioneering commitment to promote the success of high-achieving students from underrepresented populations who are preparing for careers in medicine and the health professions. JUMP is a learning community that includes academic support, advising, peer mentoring, community building, career exploration, and leadership opportunities. Through the recent landmark gift of $1.8 billionby Michael R. Bloomberg that is dedicated to meeting 100% demonstrated need with no-loan financial aid packages for first-generation and limited-income (FLI) students and the robust expansion of FLI initiatives and programs at Johns Hopkins University, the JUMP program will grow from a small cohort-based program to a premier 4yr+ enrichment program to serveall underrepresented (URM) and/or FLI students on pre-health pathways at Johns Hopkins. The JUMP program is aligned with and actively attuned to the definition of underrepresented in medicine and holistic review practices of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

With the program redefinition projected to begin Fall 2020, the Assistant Director of JUMP will support the Director of JUMP in transitioning the program from its current state by employing a strategic framework for the new program developed by the JUMP Working Group. The Assistant Director will demonstrate cross-cultural nuance in developing and implementing programming specific to URM and/or FLI students and in holistic advising for URM and/or FLI students. As an advocate for URM and/or FLI students in their overall student experience and pursuit of their academic and professional goals, the Assistant Director will establish collaborations, within Johns Hopkins and external to the University, that promote student success and the overall mission of the program. More specifically, the Assistant Director will support collaborative programming between JUMP and the Office of Pre-Professional Advising, other programs in the Center for Student Success, the Office of Multicultural Affairs, and the Office of Academic Advising. The Assistant Director will also sustain meaningful connections to community-based organizations in the health care fields, medical schools, and national organizations and programs that support URM and/or FLI students in their pursuit of careers in the health professions.

The Assistant Director of JUMP reports to the Director of JUMP in the Center for Student Success.
