Form PC-262-7 ECG Form

OMB Control No. 0420-xxxx Expiration Date xx/xx/xxxx Peace Corps

Please obtain the following screening test.

Note to applicant: The ECG results need to be scanned and uploaded to your applicant health portal. If you mail or fax the results, please use a photocopy of the original ECG.

❒ ECG (My ECG results are attached.) The actual tracing and the signed interpretation, including the physician’s signature confirming the interpretation of the ECG, must be attached. A physician’s interpretation of the results is not sufficient and will result in an incomplete physical exam.

Frequently Asked Question

What is the tracing? I don’t know how that is different than the interpretation.

A tracing is the paper that shows the electrical activity of your heart, and is usually printed from the ECG machine at the time of the test. A physician will review the tracing and interpret the results. Sometimes this is written on the tracing itself, and sometimes it is written on another part of your medical record. We need to see BOTH the tracing and the interpretation.

Can I send the results via U.S. Mail?

No. Mailed ECG tracings that have been mailed arrive and look like a black sheet of paper. This is due to government processing of mail using anthrax detection methods. You have to copy and fax the results, or scan and upload to your Medical Applicant Portal (MAP).
