Hosting Your Own Workshop

Bring FHIR learning to your research community.

Plan a workshop using lessons from NIH/ODSS FHIR Bulk Data and SMART on FHIR training events. Adapt the materials to your audience, prepare a testing environment, and choose synthetic data for hands-on exercises.

Recommended: try the hands-on practice workshops before planning your own event.

Plan your workshop

Adapt existing training materials to your audience using capability assessments, learning objectives, and instructional design guidance. Review recommendations for prerequisites, participant support, compute environments, and evaluation, drawing on experience from earlier NIH FHIR webinars and workshops.

• Recommendations for conducting workshops

Set up a FHIR test server

Compare public, local, and hosted options for FHIR testing and training. Learn to start a HAPI FHIR server, load Synthea records in the required order, and find additional cloud and interoperability testing resources for your workshop.

• FHIR test server setup

Choose synthetic data

Find downloadable synthetic FHIR datasets for testing and training, including general patient histories and ophthalmology examples with images. Explore options for generating your own Synthea data and making selected datasets available through a FHIR test server.
