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.

Famous quotes containing the words medical and/or schools:
“As we speak of poetical beauty, so ought we to speak of mathematical beauty and medical beauty. But we do not do so; and that reason is that we know well what is the object of mathematics, and that it consists in proofs, and what is the object of medicine, and that it consists in healing. But we do not know in what grace consists, which is the object of poetry.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“In schools all over the world, little boys learn that their country is the greatest in the world, and the highest honor that could befall them would be to defend it heroically someday. The fact that empathy has traditionally been conditioned out of boys facilitates their obedience to leaders who order them to kill strangers.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 3 (1991)
