Please see this page for adding the Psychiatry AVD pool
If you do not see the icon after adding the Psychiatry AVD pool to your Remote Desktop App, please send an email to oac@pitt.edu requesting access to Remote Desktop.

6. After you are done, close the connection by clicking the X on the connection bar at the top of your screen.
