Health Care FASD Screening & Diagnosis

Minnesota Diagnostic Consortium

The diagnostic consortium is a group of clinics in Minnesota that have added FASD diagnosis to their practices, received professional education on diagnosis from MOFAS, and have advised MOFAS on diagnostic issues. The consortium meets four times a year to collaborate, receive professional education, problem solve about FASD diagnosis, and receive MOFAS support to improve care. The clinics in this group are not the only FASD diagnostic clinics in Minnesota, but they are the clinics that are most closely involved with MOFAS.
