New Physicians for Wisconsin Program

Since July 1 of 2009, the New Physicians for Wisconsin Program at the WORH has assisted 3 communities recruit new primary care physicians. These communities are: Waupun, West Bend, and Madison. In addition to these placements, we have had physicians interview in New Richmond, Milwaukee, Beloit, Kenosha, Green Bay, West Bend, Amery, Sauk City, St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin Rapids, Racine, Oregon, West Bend, and Osceola. We are hopeful that several of these interviews will end up in the placement of a new physician in the respective community.  Check out the Physician Recruitment News, and Physician Recruitment Tips & Advice which is the latest physician recruitment trends, newsworthy items, and/or offer tips & advice related directly to any/all aspects of physician recruitment.  [Read article]
