Family Home Visiting Training Registration
Errors
Within
the past few months, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Family Home
Visiting (FHV) program has fielded concerns regarding its training registration
system accessed from the MDH FHV Training and
Professional Development webpage. Users have experienced a variety of issues
related to retrieving correct course information and completing registration
online. If you experience any problems while attempting to register for a
course, please contact Patrick Kelley at patrick.kelley@state.mn.us or 651-201-4090.
