Employers/universities sometimes need to verify a postdoc's appointment dates.
Verifications require:
- Name of the Postdoc
- Appointment dates at Stanford
-
Authorization to Release Information form, signed by the postdoc:
Verification Request Form.
Allow 30 days for processing. Do not send multiple requests for the same verification; this creates processing delays.
Other verifications:
- Postdoctoral Benefits/Proof of Insurance: Contact Postdoc Benefits.
- Student Loan Deferments: click here.
- Home/Auto Loans: Contact your postdoc admin, not OPA.
OPA cannot process verifications for Stanford Medicine Hospital programs, Lucille Packard Children's Hospital programs, HHMI, SLAC, or employment.
How to verify other types of appointments or employment:
- Employment History at Stanford University (staff positions)
- Stanford University degrees (all)
- Stanford Health Care: Medical Staff or call (650) 723-7857
-
Residency and Fellowships: Graduate Medical Education (GME) department
- If GME cannot verify, contact the academic department directly:
