Education and Training
KL2 Masters Program
A core component of the Clinical and Translational Science Award of the NIH and of the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) is the education and cultivation of the next generation of clinical/translational scientists. Young physicians envisioning a career as both clinicians and scientists are ideal candidates for participation in the KL2 grant program of STSI. The KL2 grant allows for a recently trained clinical physician to pursue a Master’s Degree in the discipline of Clinical and Translational Investigation (MCTI). The STSI is now recruiting physicians to enter the MCTI program, which is conducted collaboratively with the Kellogg School of Science and Technology at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in La Jolla, California. The program is a two year research-centric educational endeavor that is complemented by a series of seminar based activities directed at preparing the young investigator for a career as a clinical and/or translational scientist.
Training Program in Translational Research for Advanced Doctoral Students (TL-1)
A core component of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) and its Kellogg School of Science and Technology is to educate and train the upcoming generation of biomedical scientists. The TL-1 program focuses on the support and development of TSRI doctoral candidates seeking careers in translational bio-scientific research. The TL-1 program introduces and then integrates doctoral science candidates to the principles of applied biostatistics, genomics, molecular medicine, and clinical trial design and execution via seminar participation with physician-scientists.
Kellogg School of Science and Technology
TSRI’s Kellogg School of Science and Technology has grown into one of the nation’s top centers for graduate education in biology and chemistry. The school offers doctoral programs in chemical and biological sciences. Extraordinary thought and care have been given to create an individualized curriculum at the interface of biology and chemistry, the area of scientific inquiry for which TSRI has earned its reputation for excellence. Opportunities to craft a research project and area of study that encompass several laboratories outside of that of the student’s mentor are not only available but encouraged. Accommodations are made to suit the student’s sensibilities, and obstacles are routinely overcome to keep the best interests of the students at the forefront of the program.

TSRI Training Program in Molecular Evolution
The Molecular Evolution training program emphasizes three major topics: the principles of evolution, the central relevance of evolutionary processes at the molecular level to problems of disease, and the use of molecular evolution as a laboratory tool. Below you will find the link for information about the program and about the subject of molecular evolution, and contact information for the scientists involved.

Scripps Conference Services & CME
The mission of the Continuing Medical Education program at Scripps Health is to provide medical information in the clinical expertise of Scripps that is relevant to patient care. Scripps Health is committed to lifelong learning for physicians and other health care workers who participate in its educational activities.

Kresge Library
The Kresge Library serves the information needs of employees of TSRI, and Scripps Green Hospital, Scripps Clinic, and their patients and invited visitors. Although the Kresge Library is a private library, access to its collections is provided through interlibrary loan networks accessible at most university, medical, public and special libraries.
