Step 3: Set up account
Click on the link in the email to validate your account and you will be directed back to Consultagene where you will be asked to set a password.
Step 4: Complete the User Profile
Log in to complete your user profile and you will be directed to the account's dashboard
Step 5: Create the Request
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".
