Contact I Put For Research Just Retired

So on my list of activities on amcas, I obviously included the research that I did two years ago. For the contact info, I put the PI's office phone. However, I just found out that she retired, so she won't have the phone number anymore. Is there anyway I can change the contact info in amcas? I'd ideally want to get her personal contact info, if not a grad student I worked with to verify my hours. Or should I just do nothing and hope they don't verify? What should I do?

I don't think there's anything you can do if you already submitted. Odds are nobody will care or ask about it. If they do, just explain what happened and have the contact info for a grad student or something.

You can update schools about the new contact when you submit the secondary with the "Is there anything else we should know" question. If a school doesn't have that essay and they try to verify, they will reach out to you for an alternate contact when the phone number doesn't work.

Just in case, can you ask this contact for their personal phone number or email? Ultimately, if they have any issues with verification, I'm sure they will come back to you. In that case, you can redirect them to the right direction.
