Abstract :
Consulting colleagues is one way of providing better care for patients. The medical consult may be directed to subspecialists from the same department or a different service. It may be done officially by a written request, or informally, by phone, and even email. In addition, the medical consult is a useful tool for teaching medical students, interns, residents, and fellows. However, to be effective, it has to be done properly.
