Dr. Emily Parker Chapman, MD

I asked a 4-year-old boy to tell me about his tummy pain and he said, "It feels like the Tazmanian Devil is running around in there trying to get out." Thats why I love Pediatrics. I started in Medicine as a "Child Life Specialist" helping children cope with hospitalization. As a student of child psychology, I loved the work and signed on for more. I studied medicine at Dartmouth Medical School and specialized in Pediatrics as a resident at the University of Minnesota. I enjoyed practice as a Pediatrician for many years before returning to my training ground of Childrens Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota to teach and mentor young pediatricians in training. I now work alongside our trainees caring for hospitalized children, helping them heal, and partnering with there pediatricians to see them safely home.
