Financial Literacy for Postdocs: Understanding Health Insurance (NPA Event)

When

11 a.m. – Noon, Nov. 7, 2025

Where

This event is held by the National Postdoctoral Association (NPA)*.

Accessing care through the U.S. healthcare system can seem like a daunting task. After all, we fear the unknown. A recent survey shows that 77 percent of Americans are confused by the basic components of their health insurance and how they impact their out-of-pocket costs. For international postdocs, the statistic is undoubtedly even higher. Join us for an informative webinar where we will discuss those unfamiliar concepts and terms you may have come across when looking at health insurance benefit summaries or speaking with healthcare professionals. Fortunately, when armed with a bit of knowledge and understanding, accessing your health care insurance can become easier.

This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*HW)
