to the OpenMRS project through your

unique skills.

Write code, save lives. The OpenMRS Community depends on the helpful hands of many developers around the world. Whether you’re able to dedicate time to extended tasks, or would rather help with quick, simple projects, we have a need and a place for you.

Healthcare systems demand reliable software, so we must always focus on testing OpenMRS code. Whether or not you’re a developer, consider helping us test OpenMRS Releases.

Do you have experience and skills with technical writing?

OpenMRS needs assistance maintaining its documentation and resources. It is important to keep everything up to date and well-organized.

OpenMRS is used around the world, and we always have need for skills in the languages where our software is deployed. You don’t have to be a geek to make a real impact.
