Clicking on the "Request a Referral" button on the dashboard will bring up the request form. Select the clinical or research program and complete the rest of the form.
What's Next
After submitting a request, you can view the status of the request on your account's dashboard to see if it has been approved or declined. If a request is declined, you should receive an email stating the reason for the declination. If it is approved, you will be contacted and assigned the next step, called a journey. Your journeys will be listed on your account's dashboard under "Assigned Journeys".
