Rehabilitation provider update conference

About the Sept. 13, 2024, update conference

Attendance and participation in the rehabilitation provider update conference session is required of all qualified rehabilitation consultants (QRCs) and QRC interns. All placement staff members from QRC and vendor firms are encouraged to attend. Registered job placement vendors must have at least one representative from their organization participate. Non-attendance may be allowed only for emergency situations (Minnesota Rules 5220.1500, subpart 3a). Otherwise, nonparticipation may result in professional conduct and accountability discipline.

Download the presentations and handouts before the training session to write notes on them. Standard practice is for presenters to provide you with more information than what is shown in the presentations.
