International Travel Assistance Program Portal Launch
Dear Postdoctoral Scholars,
Stanford University is enhancing its support services related to global activities and we are launching a new International Travel Assistance Program website (https://internationaltravel.stanford.edu).
Through our participating vendors, the new site is designed to provide improved medical, personal, travel and security assistance services to faculty, staff, postdocs and students, as well as spouses, domestic partners and dependents, who are traveling abroad on Stanford University business or research and/or participating in Stanford University programs.
Please take a moment to check out the new site. You can also see a summary of the International Travel Assistance Program below. If you have questions about the program, please contact Yolanda Bystron, Risk Management, at bystron@stanford.edu.
Summary of Program:
Stanfords International Travel Assistance Program has resources on call, online and on the ground to help with medical, security and logistical situations that may arise when you travel internationally or live abroad, including pre-travel advice, medical referrals, lost medication, and assistance during medical or security crises.
