Hi Lesley, The HMF course is entirely online and self-paced, so you can take it at any time that works best. The link might appear as a dead link if you're not signed in or your SSO doesn't have the necessary permissions to access TrakCare content. Access to the course is limited to folks who belong to a partner organization that either holds an active InterSystems EHR license or is a TrakCare Implementation partner actively involved in an EHR implementation.

If you believe you meet these criteria and should have access, please let me know and I’d be happy to look into it further for you!

Hi Chris! Thank you so much for being a SME for us. We really appreciated your time and expertise. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and found it valuable. 

Hi Harshitha! Only those who hold an active SQL Specialist certification are eligible for the SQL Professional beta. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Pietro! Unlike prior certification exam betas, only folks who hold the InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist certification are eligible. There is no application process, rather, the certification team will be reaching out directly to eligible individuals on May 19th. Anyone who holds an active SQL Specialist certification will receive an email next Monday with instructions on how to access and take the beta exam. The email will be sent to the address associated with your account on Credly, our digital badging platform.

If you do not yet have the SQL Specialist certification, I encourage you to consider taking the InterSystems IRIS SQL Specialist certification exam. Once you pass this exam and obtain the certification, you will receive an email from the certification team regarding the beta. 

Please let me know if I can clarify anything! 

Hi Rich! Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, the beta period closed on April 29th. If you're still interested in taking the exam, the exam will be officially released around the second week of May, once the passing score has been finalized.

Hi Kash, 

The IRIS Developer Professional exam is currently in beta testing and is expected to be officially released on May 15th. 

This new exam will replace the current InterSystems IRIS Core Solutions Developer Specialist exam. If you take and pass the Core exam before its retirement on May 15th, your certification will remain valid for 5 years regardless of the release of the new exam. For example, if you pass the Core exam in April 2025, your certification will be valid through April 2030.

Hi Pietro! Thank you for your interest in the beta test! While there is no specific documentation corresponding to each exam topic, the online learning materials listed under "Recommended preparation" cover a good amount of the exam content. Additionally, we've included a set of practice questions above that closely mirror the format and content of the exam to help you prepare.

The survey has been updated to now be readable with a dark theme!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have updated the instructions in the post accordingly.
