Post Doctoral Trainees are automatically enrolled in the health insurance plan (includes dental coverage through MetLife) unless a waiver form is submitted by September 12th. Dependents of Postdocs can also be enrolled for the same coverage.

Eligible dependents of enrolled Post Doctoral Trainees may participate in the plan on a voluntary basis but must be enrolled within 30 days of the Post Doc start date. Please contact Annie Evans at [email protected] or (615) 343-1990 for further details.
