Updated PSU Patient Request Form
The email transition to @health.mil broke the PSU request form’s embedded “Email Form” box in the top LEFT corner. The form is now fixed and attached below.
How do you know you have the new form? The “Email Form” box in the upper LEFT corner is now purple, and not red.
Couple caveats for maximum functionality with this form:
Open and complete with Adobe Acrobat (not Edge)
Also have Outlook email already open
Once form is complete, click the PURPLE “Email Form” box in the top LEFT corner. Form will attach to a new email addressed to the PSU organizational mailbox.
Send it to the listserv at the top of the form!
We have placed the updated PSU Request Form in the PEDIATRICS share drive within the folder “PSU SEDATION REQUEST FORM.”

Those receiving extra ARM time should update the SOCR at least semiannually either via meeting or via email to Dr. Zanetti and Dr. K. The project proposal template is attached.
