Scripps research institute biology graduate program

The KL2 Clinical Scholars Program trains medical residents and newly-minted physicians in clinical and translational research and investigation.

The M. Program with Florida Atlantic University is an eight-year program that provides academically strong students the opportunity to earn both a M. The program is bicoastal and applications are reviewed by an admissions committee composed of faculty from both the Florida and California campuses. As a result, applicants may receive an offer of admission from one or both campuses.

They are then able to build arguments or interpretations of their experimental results that are logical and well evidenced in pursuit of creating new knowledge. This endeavor involves a great deal of cooperation and collaboration among lab members or with different labs. Students are required to be trained on the ethical norms of research such as mutual respect, trust, confidentiality, rigor, and accountability.

Further, students are expected to be knowledgeable about ethics and practical requirements for data and resource sharing, and for the use of human subjects and animals in their research. Publications in peer-reviewed journals and other recognition from the scientific community are signals of quality intellectual output. In any scientific or professional environment, the ability to successfully engage with peer and lay audiences is critical.

Scripps Research students are able to effectively communicate the impact of a study or a body of work to the greater scientific community and to the public at large. During their training at Scripps Research, graduate students are expected to publish and communicate the impact of their research through scientific journals as well as poster and oral presentation.
