Physician Phone Consult

MEDCON Education & Referral Service

MEDCON is a toll-free education and referral service of the University of Washington School of Medicine and its primary teaching hospitals.

As a major resource for medical education, research, and patient care, UW School of Medicine places particular importance on its communication with the practicing physicians in the Pacific Northwest region. These interchanges enable the faculty to appreciate the challenges referring physicians face in their practices so that we may provide better assistance and support.  All physicians who practice at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance are on the Faculty of UW and are available for a consult via MEDCON.

Special operators are available throughout the day to take providers' calls and to link them with an appropriate faculty physician with expertise in any particular area. After hours and on weekends, University of Washington Medical Center operators will take your call.
