Register online for free public health trainings

The Public Health Training Hui and California Pacific Public Health Training Center, in cooperation with the Hawaii Department of Health Public Health Nursing Division are offering training in survey development, data management and grant writing at the State Laboratory Division.

Thanks to the DOH Public Health Nurses, the four trainings at the Hawaii State Laboratory Auditorium are being offer via Video Tele-Conferencing, allowing neighbor islanders to join these trainings. Select this option when your register online.
