All physicians in Wisconsin are required to register with the Injured Patients and Families Compensation. If you are newly licensed in Wisconsin, you will receive a letter notifying you of the obligation to register. If you are moving from one job to another within Wisconsin, you will not receive a reminder but are required to update your registration. As a UW employee you are EXEMPT and must register as such.
