Subject: [RESADM-L] Postoc status

 

For folks at medical schools—how do you handle health insurance for postocs?

 

One of our graduates has just gotten an F32 fellowship to postdoc in one of our faculty members’ labs.  Since F32s pay stipends, this person cannot have the status of employee; similarly, he can’t be a student unless he registers and pays tuition for at least one credit hour.  Those are the only two statuses recognized by our insurer.  Does anybody have a convenient way of dealing with this?
