Hello Everyone especially trainers, instructors, professors!
In the OpenMRS Users Guide, the “Around the World” portion of the PDF mentions that OpenMRS has been used in training medical informatics students.
I am using OpenMRS in a course I teach “Healthcare Information Technology.” I was wondering if I could beg/borrow/steal some assignments and/or training materials that you are using? This is not about developing/programming, this is about showing people how to use OpenMRS. An example with tuberculosis, or HIV/AIDS, would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi @tbernier
Thanks for reaching out!
In my experience developing end user training, user guides are a great starting point for demonstrations and individual practice if you want to focus on how to use OpenMRS to collect data, generate reports, etc. One starting point is our [User Guide](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/End+User+Guide) on the WIki, though it is still a work in progress. If you want to go beyond data management, this [eLearning module](http://globalhealthworkforce.org/module3.html) focuses on using EMRs (OpenMRS) for decision making. Otherwise, most of the [community training materials and resources](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/RES/OpenMRS+Knowledge+Center) tend to focus on developing and implementing OpenMRS.
OpenMRS implementers who customize and deploy OpenMRS have a lot of experience conducting end user training on the ground. They might have some suggestions as well. @ball @dictoo2002 @wanyee @ssmusoke @christine @ggomez @sanjayap
