Currently, physicians in Wisconsin who have completed only one out of three years of a residency are allowed to apply for a license and practice, including physicians who were asked to leave their residency programs after one year. The board proposed requiring physicians to complete a three-year residency before being granted a license, according to the report.
Other proposed changes include making the regulations clearer, such as adding a specific list of crimes that would result in a physician losing his or her license.
The board must still make final revisions to proposed changes. There will then be a public hearing. If, after that, the governor and legislature sign off on the changes, they will go into effect.
