Huge Thank You’s:

This course was made possible thanks to these wonderful community members:

And a huge thank you to the PEPFAR TAP mechanism and our partners at PATH whose support made it possible for our Global Support Team to invest the time later this year to put this together into an online course for better O3 onboarding (along with all the video editing work this entailed)!

Great coverage of the O3 content, gone through the sections and quizzes. I’d fancy coding challenges in the quizzes though! :smiley:

Thank you so much to the @UWash team for having some members go through the course and share feedback. Key points discovered by @miirochristopher:

  • Should be a way to show which answers are incorrect after the first attempt so that one can be able to correct them.
  • Extension System Quiz needs checking with the current documentation; some answers being flagged as incorrect.

I’ll follow up on these!

More feedback welcome :smiley:

Hi team,

I completed the OpenMRS Fundamentals Academy course nearly a month ago and sent an email to community@openmrs.org requesting my certificate, but I haven’t received a response yet.Could someone guide me on how to proceed or let me know if there’s another contact I should reach out to for this?

Thanks so much for your help!

P.S. I am doing Intro to OpenMRS 3 for Developers now

Hi all, apologies for the delay you’ve experienced - our community coordinator has been out of the office for a lot of industry events this past month. As she’s out of the office this week I’ll step in today and catch up on the certificate backlog - so you should be receiving your certificate within the next 24hrs :slight_smile:

Done! The backlog of requests is now sorted; all folks who successfully completed their courses and associated quizzes should now have their certificates :slight_smile:
