MEDICAL EXAMINING BOARD
INFORMATION FOR COMPLETING MEDICINE AND SURGERY APPLICATION FORM
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD:
Applicants, recruiters, institutions, and others involved in the placement of individuals who seek to be credentialed in the state of Wisconsin
should understand that the credentialing process takes time, and that credentialing is not guaranteed to any applicant. Factors that determine
the length of time it may take to process an application include the length of time the applicant has been in practice, the total number of
jurisdictions in which the applicant has been credentialed, and the length of time it takes for supporting documents to be received in the Board
office and reviewed.
The application consists of an all-inclusive packet with instructions and information on all applicable requirements. We strive to process
applications in a timely fashion. We cannot issue a credential until all of the required documents have been received and reviewed in the
Board office.
It is the Department’s mission and legislative mandate to provide consumer protection for Wisconsin residents. The Department and the
Board have been asked to waive requirements to expedite the process, only to discover legitimate grounds to deny a credential. This can
present a serious problem for the applicant, recruiter, or institutions if the applicant has relocated, purchased property, or made other
commitments prior to the issuance of a Wisconsin credential. We urge you not to make these moves until you know that your credential
has been issued. Please “plan ahead” as we cannot speed up the credentialing process or waive supporting documents even in emergency
situations.
FEDERATION CREDENTIALS VERIFICATION SERVICE (FCVS):
The Department accepts the physician information profile completed by FCVS through the Federation of State Medical Boards. If you
