Every UW–Madison employee with a NetID has an account with University Health Services (UHS). These accounts can be accessed at myuhs.uhs.wisc.edu or on the main UHS website, uhs.wisc.edu. In preparation for the availability of on-campus COVID-19 testing, all employees should ensure that their account details are correct and the proper consent forms are completed.

To set up or update your account, go to myuhs.uhs.wisc.edu/login and sign in with your NetID. Once you sign in, use the “Profile” link on the left side of your MyUHS page to view and update your profile. In addition, you must go to the “Forms” link and complete the following two forms: Occupational Medicine 1: Privacy Notice and Consent to Treat, and Occupational Medicine 2: Authorization for Release of Occupational Health Records. On-campus COVID-19 testing will be offered beginning August 6 at no cost to all faculty and staff. By setting up your MyUHS account now, you will be prepared to make an appointment for COVID-19 testing and access your test results online. If you need assistance setting up your MyUHS account, please send an email to myUHS@uhs.wisc.edu.

Webex, one of several tools used for virtual meetings and video conferencing at UW–Madison, has introduced some improvements that make using Webex easier and more intuitive. For example, pressing and holding the spacebar now unmutes a meeting participant temporarily when they want to speak. Audio and video functionality have been enhanced to allow for easier testing of a selected speaker and microphone. DoIT offers more information about the advanced features that have been added to Webex on its IT News page.
