About OpenClinTech
We need more clinicians who can build.
OpenClinTech exists to train them. Courses cover the HL7® FHIR® standard and interoperability, clinical informatics and AI, and the live Clinician-Engineer Bootcamp takes clinicians from an idea to a shipped app.
Who it's for
Clinicians who want to build come first: the people who see what's broken in care and want to fix it themselves. Read more about what a clinician-engineer is.
Clinicians are essential to health tech, but they aren't the only ones who make it work. Engineers building HL7® FHIR® integrations, product managers, policy teams and leaders use these courses too, especially the interoperability courses.
