Licensure - Wisconsin
This guide is to help you through the application process for a full medical license.
The licensure process should be started no later than February of the appointment year if possible.
Instructions for completing the application for medical license
It is the policy of Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education that all eligible trainees obtain and maintain a Wisconsin medical license. Start the licensure process for your appointment if you meet the requirements. Review the WI Board Eligibility Requirements. If you believe you do not meet the Wisconsin eligibility requirements, please contact Tisha Doherty.

Mayo Clinic reimburses licensure fees once you begin your training program and your license is issued. Keep a copy of your receipts, as you'll need these to be reimbursed. Mayo Clinic will not reimburse Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS) fees.
