A simple, 100% editable doctor's note template to excuse patient's absence from school or work.

Be sure to check your local state laws on when it's legal for an employer to ask for a doctor's note. It should simply state when the patient can return to work. Don't violate HIPPA.

***HOW TO FIND, DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR FILES AFTER PURCHASE***

*IMPORTANT: Please note that you cannot access your download files from within the Etsy mobile app. You must access and download these from the Etsy website using a web browser such as Google Chrome or Safari.

1. Locate the email from Etsy confirming your purchase.

2. Click on the download link provided in the email. This will lead you to your Etsy purchases.

3. Once in your Etsy account, find the purchased item and click "Download Files."

Your purchased item(s) will start downloading to your device.

4. Find the downloaded files in your designated downloads folder.

5. Inside the extracted folder, you'll find various file formats (PDF, PNG, JPEG) of the file.

Select the format you prefer to work with. For printing, the PDF format is recommended for high-quality results.

6. Open the selected file (e.g., the PDF) by double-clicking it. This will launch the document in your default PDF viewer.
(If you do not have a PDF viewer, I recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can use their free trial and it should print just fine. You can download that here: https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/free-trial-download.html)

7. Click on the link that reads, "ACEESS YOUR FILES HERE" and your Canva template link will open in a web browser. You will be prompted to sign up for a free Canva account if you don't already have one.

8. Then, all you have to do is click on where it says "USE THIS TEMPLATE IN A NEW DESIGN"

I recommend saving a copy of the original template, that way you can start over if something gets messed up or if you need to refer back to what I had written. You can re-use this template as many times as you like.


***Helpful tip: if you are unable to find a program to open and edit your .pdf, try opening it in Google Chrome or another internet browser, often times it will have it's own PDF viewer built in.***
