Interop Training Plan a cohort
FHIR · IHE · DICOM · for engineering teams

Make your engineers fluent in healthcare interoperability.

Instructor-led, hands-on training that takes enterprise developers from HL7 theory to shipping conformant FHIR — five weeks, dual-stack Java & .NET, every concept reinforced by auto-graded labs on a platform we built for the job.

The FHIR Interoperability Academy

A five-week corporate cohort that has been run on-site for a leading healthcare-technology enterprise and refined batch over batch.

01 / built for teams

Mixed skill levels, handled

Freshers, senior engineers and non-clinical developers in one room. A pre-training self-assessment bands each learner and routes anyone below the bar to a bridge module — so day one starts on level ground.

02 / real practice

Protected time to actually code

Five weeks with a weekly study break, so practice isn't crushed between client work and HR activities. Every kata is auto-graded with instant pass/fail feedback and unlimited retries.

03 / zero setup loss

Ready before day one

A gated orientation and environment pre-flight — network, toolchain, containers — checked before the room opens, so we don't lose the first two days to laptops that won't build.


What your team will master

From the resource model to the wire, and the imaging stack beside it.

Standards taught the way they're used in production — against conformance, not slideware.

FHIR · CORE

The FHIR resource model

Resources, references and Bundles; the RESTful API; search, versioning and the interaction patterns real EHR integrations lean on.

PatientObservationBundle_search
FHIR · CONFORMANCE

Profiles & validation

US Core profiling, StructureDefinitions, terminology bindings and validating payloads so they pass on the receiving system, not just yours.

US Core$validateValueSet
FHIR · SECURITY

SMART on FHIR & Bulk Data

OAuth2 / SMART launch and scopes, token flows, and the Bulk Data ($export) pipeline for population-scale extracts.

SMARTOAuth2$export
IHE · PROFILES

IHE integration profiles

How the Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise profiles frame document sharing and cross-system workflows around the standards.

XDSPIX/PDQ
DICOM · IMAGING

DICOM & medical imaging

The imaging data model, DICOMweb, and where PACS and radiology workflows meet the interoperability layer.

REGULATORY · US

Da Vinci & CMS-0057

The payer-facing implementation guides — CRD, DTR and PAS — behind the CMS interoperability and prior-authorization mandate.

The delivery platform

We don't hand out slides. We hand out a graded lab environment.

A self-hosted learning stack, purpose-built for this course — so practice, grading and progress live in one place.

LMS

Managed cohort & curriculum

A Moodle-based classroom carries enrollment, scheduling, resources and the gradebook — with self-enrolment disabled and a screened roster.

LABS

Auto-graded coding, in the browser

Submissions compile and run inside a sandboxed runner and post a grade back instantly — Java today, .NET alongside it. Retry until it passes.

TRACK

An Exercism-format FHIR track

Real, deterministic katas authored from production lab work — offline-runnable so tests never flake on a live endpoint.

SSO

Single sign-on

One identity across the platform via Keycloak — enterprise-ready access for a managed cohort.

How grading works

Each exercise ships an instruction set, a starter stub and a hidden test suite. Your engineer writes the solution; the runner executes the suite in an isolated sandbox and returns a pass/fail with the failing assertions — the same loop, dual-stack, for every kata.

Who delivers it

Practitioners who ship healthcare systems — not career slide-decks.

Every cohort is led by two senior trainers, so learners get help without a queue.
