<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the February 28th Training Session<\/a>, I’ve implemented several exciting new changes and improvements to the Opus23 Basic Certification Training<\/em>, the day-long training that certifies the student (upon successful completion of the requirements) and permits them to begin using the Opus23<\/em> platform<\/a> on their own clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, the new sessions will be taught by me, the architect and coder of Opus23<\/em>. This will allow me to not only bring my own insights into Opus23<\/em>, but will also allow me to share important elements of my almost four decades of experience in bioinformatics and precision medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the assumption of the teaching responsibilities, I’ve has coded a new ‘training veneer’ into the Opus23<\/em> program. Students work directly inside of Opus23<\/em>, developing a curation strategy on a shared single client who has a complex health history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Opus23 information is just a right click away.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each student’s curation selections are then saved to a unique data file linked to their account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Progress Dashboard<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This information is monitored by myself and assistants to assess competency by comparing student curation selections to similar curations performed by a panel of seasoned Opus23<\/em> professional users. When the student’s curation levels meet the minimum accuracy of the aggregated panel curations, the student essentially ‘passes’ certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This
In addition to specific curation selections, student’s can provide more generalized observations and justifications.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Students provide remarks, observations and justifications using the robust notations functions in Opus23<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides for a significant amount of flexibility with regard to working with each student’s unique capabilities. For example, students who quickly master the basic usage of Opus23<\/em> genomic apps can be ‘upgraded’ to begin training on the Opus23<\/em> microbiome module, Utopia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This
Students work in a fully functional version of Opus23<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new learning platform also features several new screencast videos of I’ve recorded detailing basic usage and curation. Students can work along with the videos for a true interactive experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space for these trainings is limited, so if interested, consider reserving your seat now.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training is limited to licensed health professionals only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who have completed Basic Opus23 Certification<\/em> can look forward to a series of advanced Opus23<\/em> Workshops to begin mid-2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
