At Children’s Minnesota, we recognize the importance of physicians having direct access to pediatric specialists and sub-specialists for non-urgent, general questions and consultations.

Non-urgent consultation requests

We ask physicians to submit non-urgent requests via email. Questions are triaged by a Children’s physician and, if needed, are redirected to a physician sub-specialist or other pediatric health professional at Children’s Minnesota. First-time users are asked to create a user name and password. Once you submit a question, our goal is to respond from within 10 business days.Frequently asked questions
