As one of the ways that we provide support, the full cost of individual health insurance is covered for all Whiting School post-doctoral fellows and Whiting School full-time resident degree-seeking graduate students if they elect to use the university-sponsored health insurance coverage. Domestic post-doctoral fellows and domestic graduate students retain the right to waive the University-sposored coverage, but they must provide evidence of a comparable policy (more information about that can be found here). International students are required to enroll in the University-sponsored plan so that we can ensure sufficient local coverage.
Subsidies for health insurance will come from a number of sources such as the Dean's Office, the student's department, sponsored grants agencies, and other external funding sources. This will appear on the Student Account as the mandatory fee, but, again, the student will not be expected to pay it.
Freshman Britni Lonesome began working in the lab of Associate Professor Justin Hanes when she was still in high school. There, she's helping develop a new drug delivery system that could someday reduce tuberculosis deaths in impoverished nations.
