How do MHSCN members benefit from the affiliation?

This affiliation connects MHSCN to resources that enhance our conferences, networking events, educational opportunities and more.

To take advantage of these MHSCN member benefits, log in and visit the Members Only section:

• National conference discount: MHSCN members who are not SHSMD members receive a discount on the SHSMD national conference. MHSCN/Minnesota/regional attendees can participate in the conference’s networking reception, which groups attendees by area of the country.
• Free webcast access: MHSCN members have free registration to all SHSMD U Webcasts. The webcasts are scheduled (for on-the-spot conversations and questions you may want to pose to the speaker) and on-demand. 
• Group registration rate for SHSMD U Online Courses: When five or more MHSCN members participate, they get 10 percent off the regular course rate. The courses can help you boost and promote important skills relevant to your role as a health care strategist. 

Other benefits include access to a directory of top-rated SHSMD speakers who can inspire spring and fall conference attendees with national insights. SHSMD association leaders are also available for consulting on MHSCN programs or services.
