Who this is for
If you've tried to learn FHIR before and hit a wall of 2,000-page specs and dry exam-prep content, this is different.
Entering health tech and want hands-on FHIR training. Learn to work with FHIR APIs and real EHRs like Epic and Cerner, and earn a certificate to show for it.
Want to understand health data and clinical systems, with no prior health informatics course required.
Leading digital health products and need to understand healthcare interoperability, EHR integration requirements, and what FHIR actually means for your roadmap.
What you'll learn
What's inside
The most practical introduction to FHIR online. Covers FHIR basics from the ground up with hands-on lessons, and you walk away with a shareable FHIR Fundamentals certificate that proves what you've learned.
The HL7 FHIR authorization layer that every real-world EHR integration depends on. You'll implement SMART on FHIR and build an app that authenticates against a live EHR system.
Practical healthcare interoperability training for Epic, Cerner, and more. Each guide covers real-world EHR development and clinical data interoperability, not a compliance checklist.
Your instructor
When I was a medical intern, I spent 4-5 hours every day manually copying lab data into the EMR for 200 patients. The data was already digital, there was just no way to move it around. So I learned Python and automated it. I was just lazy. Next thing I knew, the whole hospital was using my script.
Then I came across real EHRs and FHIR. I spent over $3,000 on HL7 courses and took everything under the sun. Every one of them prepared me for an exam or walked me through 2,000 pages of the spec, but none of them taught me how to actually use FHIR.
I figured it out the hard way. I built this course, and the certificate that comes with it, so you don't have to.
What students are saying
"This course has been excellent! The pace and format have been very effective. Everything was great!"
"This is an excellent course. Dr. Sidharth is an exceptional instructor, and I highly recommend it. Initially, I struggled to understand Epic, FHIR, etc., on my own, but this course clarified everything."
What comes next
The free course gives you the foundation. The next step is applying it, with a deadline, live coaching, a community, and something to show for it.
