• Biometrics Screening - October 10, 2023 through November 30, 2023

Penn’s Division of Human Resources is pleased to offer NRSA Fellows the opportunity to complete one on-campus biometric screening this fall. Free biometric screenings are available at convenient University locations October 10 through November 30. 

Important Information about Attending an Onsite Biometric Screening

As a NRSA Fellow, you can participate as a “walk-in” and will not need to register for an appointment.

Bring your Penn ID to the screening event of your choice, and upon arrival, let Health Advocate staff know you are a NRSA Fellow postdoc and were directed to attend as a “walk-in”. We suggest you avoid heavy appointment times, including the first hour and lunchtime. (Screenings run 9am-2pm.)

Please note, you will not be eligible to earn any Be in the Know Pulse Cash rewards associated with a biometric screening, nor be able to access the Virgin Pulse platform. 

We ask that you disregard all mainstream communications about on-campus biometric screenings and follow the above directions.
