Announcing Medblocks openFHIR: An open-source engine that bridges openEHR and FHIR
Introducing openFHIR, an open-source bidirectional mapping engine converting between openEHR and FHIR standards. Built on FHIRConnect, Apache 2.0.
FHIR was the first health‑data standard I tackled right after medical school.
I read the specification, watched every YouTube tutorial I could find, and still felt something was missing.
I then took paid HL7 courses. I finished every lesson, but when real questions came up the course was already over. How do I connect to Epic? How do I use FHIR in my own app?
Do these sound like questions you have asked yourself?
I have already put out a lot of free material to help people with FHIR.
The FHIR Bootcamp is for people who learn best by building. It is a focused 10‑week program where we build five real‑world applications together.
Interested in this course?
Purchase the course and start building today. Unlock access to all lessons, resources, and updates for this cohort.
Schedule
- Weekly live class on Wednesdays at 3 PM UTC
- Next cohort begins 4 September 2025
- Each module runs two weeks
- Week 1: Kick‑off and project brief
- Week 2: Demo day where you present what you built
- Unlimited one‑on‑one calls for questions or debugging
Here’s a walkthrough of the process in more depth:
Who the Bootcamp is not for
- You can code but have less than five free hours each week
- You cannot code and have less than ten free hours each week
- You prefer shallow over deep understanding
- You do not want to build apps yourself
If none of these apply, keep reading.

We offer a no‑questions‑asked refund within seven days if you are not satisfied.
On completion you receive a certificate that our partner organisations recognise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
Coding helps, but many clinicians now build apps with AI tools. You will need to submit working assignments, and we are here to guide you.
What if I miss a live session?
Sessions are recorded and posted within thirty minutes. You can also submit a recording of your demos to us and it’ll be played at the demo classes.
How do I get help if I am stuck?
Use Slack for quick support or book a one‑on‑one call with an instructor.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Anytime. No questions asked.

Why We're Reinventing the EHR
Traditional healthcare software development has significant drawbacks. A platform with standardized features and extensible features might be the right answer.
CDS Hooks Matter More Than You Think
CDS Hooks are more than alerts: they’re real-time EHR webhooks that can surface a card and launch a SMART on FHIR app, letting you run workflows outside the EHR. The key is relevance + low latency, and rising adoption.
