hope that helps. you can search for other info on the board.
I am a recent graduate of Scripps Green, and like many of the posts here I did not know much about the program until I did a rotation in cardiology as a medical student. I am very happy I picked Scripps Green as my residency program so I wanted to provide some more details for those interested! Scripps Green is located in La Jolla, CA. and is a moderate sized program. We have fellowships in Cardiology, Heme/Onc, GI, Rheum, Endocrine, Allergy, Interv. Cards, Derm Mohs, and we have an excellent match rate for residents interested in fellowships. There are so many different values we all have in picking a program so I have listed some of the highlights of our's! Hope this helps.
Research: We have an awesome research curriculum and time in our PGY 2 and 3 years to take research electives. Our associate program director is very helpful in assisting us in creating project ideas and subspecialits are always looking for residents to join their research projects. We have a statician that helps us all with our projects and are able to present posters for conferences easily. Our posters are also designed by a Scripps Graphic artics and regional and national meeting attendance is fully funded by the program.
Ambulatory Clinic: is a unique one block rotation in PGY 2 and PGY 3 where you design your individual 1/2 sessions in areas you need more exposure; i.e echocardiogram, rad/onc, derm, transplant medicine,Leprosy clinic, Hempath etc.
St. Vincent and St. Leo's clinic: our 2nd and 3rd year residents provide free medical care to communities in downton San Diego and Solona beach year round.
Global Health Electives: Loloma Foundation has been very gracious in allowing our residents to rotate with them in Fiji islands; I personally did this rotation and loved it! Other ones available include Native American Health Service for Navajo Indians in Kayenta, Arizona and Crow Reservation.
Tremendous attending participation with daily didactic sessions run by Attendings and chief residents

A plug for the Scripps Medicine internal residency program - it's fantastic. I just finished my 3rd year residency this year. Excellent clinical training, and preparation for medicine or medicine subspecialties. Their new program director is responsive and motivated. For research, there are great faculty at Scripps Clinic who can mentor you on projects. Scripps Clinic also has internal research awards 3-4/year to support projects, including for residents. Plenty of conference support and wonderful guidance from Scripps Clinic medical docs and sub specialists career-wise.
Would NOT recommend the research program through TSRI or STSI (I looked into TL1 program).
-TSRI/STSI has 2 research tracks for residents- TL1 (translational/bench research) and KL2 (clinical research).
-My co-residents who did this program were unhappy. They did not receive any mentorship through TSRI or STSI, and instead relied on research mentors at Scripps Clinic/Green or elsewhere.
-TL1/KL2 journal clubs and research talks are attended by research assistants/staff, not faculty. so you don't get much feedback
-I looked at the TL1 program, found the TL1 director arrogant/rude. The KL2 supervisor was nice, led most of the day for research track folks, and also works with the residents at Green.
-TSRI doesn't support trainees with a research coordinator- many trainees end up doing study enrollment themselves
-TSRI got rid of trainee grants for TL1/KL2s
-TSRI courses are geared towards basic scientists - there is only 1 class on clinical investigation.
Bottom line - Scripps medicine residency is GREAT and prepares you well. There are plenty of great research opps at this residency (Clinic/Green) that have shaped my training and pursuit of fellowship. Just don't bother with TSRI.
