sue1234 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I also was wondering--when you fill out the form to apply to be a research patient, do you need a doctors recommendation? I filled mine out last winter and never heard back, so emailed to ask if they had actually received my application, and never heard back. I would at least like to know something like, "I'm sorry, you don't meet our requirements for this study" or SOMETHING! I hate that they just ignore you. Anyone know about needing the doctor for the research study or just to have an outpatient appt.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I applied for a research study at Vanderbilt last year, and you do have to have your doctor's referral for them to process your application. I heard back pretty quickly that I did not meet all of the criteria they needed. Perhaps you should reapply if they're still doing the study? I know they're currently doing several with dysautonomia patients, including a sleep study.Good luck,Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
