SCRIPS events are open to all SCRIPS Scholars and Mentors, as well as medical students, residents/fellows, and faculty interested in Physician Scientist training.

Upcoming Events

The 2020 SCRIPS Symposium will be held on the Vanderbilt University Medical Center campus on March 26, 2020.

We are excited to announce keynote talks from Dr. Steve Leach, Director of Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center, and Dr. Juanita Merchant, Chief of Gastroenterology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Our current SCRIPS Fellows and Student Scholars will also be featured, and we hope that many of you will be able to interact with these trainees at the event. 

The symposium will conclude with the address from Dr. Juanita Merchant, as part of Vanderbilt’s prestigious Flexner Discovery Lecture series (4-5 pm.)
