Medical Schools
TSRI and the Scripps Health hospital network planned to jointly start the Scripps School of Medicine, with its first students entering in 2013. It was to be located on the TSRI San Diego campus and would have been the area's second medical school alongside UCSD's. The school would have offered a curriculum lasting five years focusing on both clinical care and laboratory research. TSRI needed to raise $150 million to start the school. However, the plan has been cancelled.
Separately, Florida Atlantic University has started a new medical school in association with Scripps Florida, ending its relationship with the University of Miami's medical school. The first students entered the new program in fall 2011.

“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
