If you haven’t already gotten your Wiscard campus ID, you will need to do that first. You will not be able to use the UW Occupational Medicine system, as required to follow these steps, until you get your Wiscard.

  1. Visit the Wiscard office in Union South to get your Wiscard campus ID

After waiting at least one day after you pick up your Wiscard, log in to MyUHS using your UW–Madison NetID and then your birthdate.

Please send an email to SMPH HR Compliance with this information:

  1. Confirmation that you have completed both forms and the TB Risk Assessment Survey in MyUHS
  2. If you have not completed any TB testing in the past, please confirm that in your email

Once you have completed your MyUHS Forms, Occupational Medicine will review your materials. You can expect guidance from them based on if you need to set up an appointment, or if you are TB-cleared.

Annual TB process and surveillance: All employees who require annual TB screening need to complete the TB Risk Assessment Survey within MyUHS annually. When this is due employees will receive an outreach from: hr-compliance@med.wisc.edu with instructions to complete the survey. Once survey is completed, Occupational Medicine staff will review the survey and prior TB testing. If a TB test is needed, they will notify the employee through a secure message.
